Best Puffy???

[Tipi Walter]

How puffy does it need to be? I'll be relying on this one next week.

Man, I hear ya brother. I have the FF Icefall parka and it's the Daddy to the newer Khumbu parka.

Here I am in my Icefall during a cold trip on the BMT---

TRIP 120 080-XL.jpg

When you need some real goose down---like 15 ozs of down by weight---don't bother with puffy jackets---get the real thing. And if you really want to spend all winter backpacking and living outdoors in the mountains of TN/VA/NC---get the Rock and Ice parka---with 20 ozs of down inside. I call it The Sleeping Bag with Arms. You will never ever actually backpack in the thing as it's just too hot but it's a camp gift when you're sitting in a camp for 4 or 5 days during a series of blizzards. My Icefall parka is part of my winter standard load and it's packed for every trip.
