Featured in Switchback Travel's Best Down Jackets Guide

"Plopping squarely in the lightweight category, this cozy down jacket boasts an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio, phenomenal fit, and relatively affordable price tag to boot. The synthetic insulation in moisture-prone areas (similar to ___'s pricier ___) has made this one of our favorite insulators for fast-and-light climbing trips and mountaineering objectives, but it’s also sleek enough to wear casually."

This just may be the ideal puffy for many backpackers.

In fact, it’s tempting to call the Accelerator the Goldilocks of down jackets, because it seems so ideal for camping in the mountains in the typically cool weather of summer and fall, or spring and fall in the desert Southwest: It’s not so thin and lightweight that it’s never quite warm enough for many people, but also not overly warm, which would make it unnecessarily heavier and bulkier.

Featured in "BEST DOWN JACKETS"

"...the Himali Accelerator is a solid lightweight down jacket at a competitive price, and performs especially well for technical, high aerobic pursuits."

Dirtbag Dreams - Proview

"You will find yourself carrying this jacket every day you think the weather might be even just a little bit unfavorable."

Best Performance Down Jacket

"The Himali Accelerator Hooded Down Jacket is a slim-fitting, versatile down jacket made from high quality materials. It is light, durable, and looks awesome on the wearer. It has an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio, making it an excellent piece of insulation."

High-End Puffy With All the Features

"HIMALI nailed it: the Accelerator feels light, trim and ready to move. It's warm and functional enough for adventure, but sleek enough to wear out in town. That's pretty much the combo everyone is looking for. "

Description

The Accelerator Down Jacket is an ultra-lightweight, high performing down jacket designed for versatile warmth in cold-weather. It'g going to be your new go-to choice when temps drop. The Pertex® Quantum ripstop nylon shell keeps the wind out and holds 4oz of RDS certified 850 fill-power HyperDry™ Down for lightweight windproof warmth in dry conditions. DWR coating and water expanding thread act as the first defense against precipitation, while the HyperDry™ Down prevents internal moisture buildup. Synthetic Insulation Mapping in high moisture areas keeps you warm while you are working hard. An ergonomic articulated fit reduces weight and volume, making it warmer and even more enticing to throw in your pack for a ‘just in case’ moment. Hem and hood drawcords prevent any chance of updraft - keeping you incredibly toasty.

It’s athletic fit is designed to fit perfectly over a base layer (and potentially a whisper thin mid layer). This takes advantage of down’s insulating properties by reducing dead space between your body and the down. If you are looking to layer more than this underneath, we recommend sizing up.

**The design of this jacket was inspired by our Altocumulous Down Jacket**

the importance of a reliable down jacket cannot be overstated.

Amazingly Light, Impressively Warm

I first ordered a medium as I fit well within the size chart for that size. However I would recommend sizing up if you tend to have more muscle mass on your shoulders and chest. An exchange with customer service was very quick and very pleasant, and made the process seemless. The large in Medic Blue is a classy and mature color, but stands out well in any environment. The weight of the jacket was exactly what I was looking for as its very lightweight and very packable. The warmth is almost instant when putting it on, and the Pertex fabrics felt great even against bare skin. The hood could not feel more better fitted. A lot of other articles I have the hood is is very tight or too loose while trying to be able to fit a helmet over it. This hood cuts is perfect. It creates a seal well enough that heat is easily trapped. The attention to detail is also amazing, even on the inside of the hem of the cuff, they have imprinted the HIMALI brand. I'll be wearing this jacket on multiple hikes throughout the Whites this year. Truly an amazing jacket.

Great expedition jacket

I just climbed Kili and this jacket was wonderful. Very wam, very light and easy to pack away.

Brilliant!

Outstanding performance. The design is superb. I can't get over how light and free it feels. I agree with all points made by Himali Fan in the review below, so no need to repeat. I tested this jacket above the tree line in the White Mountains of New Hampshire last weekend. The temperature was about 5 degrees Fahrenheit and wind gusts were between 50 and 70 mph (making for a much colder 'real feel)'. I only had a midweight base layer under this jacket and I felt none of the wind or freezing cold temperatures around me. It's like wearing a warm, fluffy cloud. Himali hit a home run with this one.

I'm not quite 5'10" and about 155 pounds. The medium is a perfect fit for me.

Great Jacket!

The fit and construction of this jacket is great! I like the packable feature, whether it's putting it away part way through a hike or packing for a work trip. Price is about what you would expect for an 850 down, especially treated.

-2 in Milwaukee and warm.

Fit, function and look are all great. Emily from Himali customer service was also very responsive answering questions.
