I know someone is gonna freak out on me for askin this, but I did check the search bar, froogle, and other sites and have had zero luck. I don’t know of any, but was just wondering if any one knows of a one piece that is made of down?

im gonna say that unless you wanna sweat buckets even when it's like 30 below don't get that. i've skied in my medic at like 10 below and i sweated so this is a crazy idea.

yah, the north face makes ones for expeditions. they are pretty sweet but you would sweat you balls off on top of mt everest with this suit on. check out backcountry.com or thenorthface.com if your still interested. and its gonna run you about a grand, expensive shit.

technically the oakley one piece is 100/80 fill which is pretty cozy. You wouldnt want a down or you would die of heat, not to mention range of motin constriction

Mountain Hardwear, and NorthFace make them. But THEY ARE SCORCHING. Not to mention they make you look and feel like the Michelin Man. It is not a good idea man.

im pretty sure people who buy that 1 piece are not looking for your approval as they grease down flat down park rails, there crazys mofos whol probably be doing more climbing than skiing and will be in colder conditions than you ever have. so stop bitching bitch!
