Hey guys,

I've been on the lookout for an extra warm down jacket that i can use for overnight tours and multi day trips as well as something that I can put in the pack in case of emergency.

I have a peak perfomance insulated hoodie that I wear most days and on colder days touring uphill but im struggling to find something that looks cosy as fuck for the extra cold days and the times sat around camp that I can easily compress and wont take up too much space in the pack. any suggestions would be welcome

In the same boat. I’ve been looking at Outdoor research Helium series. Been waiting for spring discount prices.

Yeh ive been looking for something similar to this just without the price tag attached to it, hopefully the sales will make it more approachable

Forgot about gear trade if you don’t mind stuff worn in once.

i know what to search for I was just asking if anyone had any recommendations as everything i seem to find is like thinnish midlayer style down jackets. I'm looking for extra thick extra cosy extra compressible. That peak performance one ive posted is the sort of thing im looking for. Cant find similar offerings from arcteryx, eddie bauer, north face etc

Sounds like you're looking for a down parka more than just a jacket.

Here's a pretty good deal I found online: https://www.mountainhardwear.com/p/mens-phantom-down-parka-1851251_S.html?dwvar_1851251__S_color=750&dwvar_1851251__S_size=XL

I bought a Big Agnes down filled hoodie that fits into its own pocket. Pretty cheap and super light for a super warm puffy. Its got my seal of approval
