I ordered mine the other day in hopes of receiving the Phantom Jacket but when I opened the box, I discovered this "Absolute Zero Suit" :?:

Just kidding :D Like gsliva, I too ordered the jacket and am hoping to get lucky with the Phantom. I'll post as soon as it hits my doorstep.

Nice! Glad you got the jacket. I did notice they took it off of the website. Either they sold out or realized their mistake. The women's version is still out there so maybe it was planned all along. They have to have agreed to sell it with a different name and description so new Mountain Hardwear Phantom's wouldn't be affected by such a low price for last years model.

Got mine too! I usually wear a medium but am glad I ordered a large (not that I had a choice).

Yes, I like the fit. Usually if I buy a jacket that fits around my chest it's too big at the bottom. This one is just right, especially since it has 2 drawcords, one at the bottom and one 4 inches up.

I checked the women's selections at LL Bean and there is one, same price, that looks like the old version of the women's phantom. Same described 650 fill...I am ordering it and will see if I, too, get a deal. I will let you know. (Still free shipping, BTW)
Thanks for the information, Barry!
