I have a red pad pre-64 stock for a 375h&h my father in law asked me to list. I don’t think it’s a featherweight, it looks like it wasn't treated like a safe queen, and there is some sort of bedding compound in the fore end.
I don’t want to waste your time if it’s not what you’re looking for...
Solid choice, you won't regret it. I have the original Jetstream and it is a great everyday jacket. My only complaint is it's not that packable for backpack hunting. My wife has the new model Jetstream and it is much thinner and lighter.
A couple to add to the solid list.

I bought my wife a Sitka ambient for Christmas this year and she LOVES that thing. Great layering piece of she gets cold.
The biggest thing with my wife is fit. She will not tolerate a men's cut and some companies do curves better than others...
I picked mine up after last season so I can't comment on durability but I can say I have been AMAZED by how warm it is for it's weight many times. I've thrown it on to go outside for a short time only to realize it's -20 outside when I looked later. Cuffs aren't my favorite but not a deal...

I patched my old set with some thin wool sock tops. The socks had a heel blowout but the tops were fine. Limped the pants through another season but they were wearing so thin you could see daylight through the rear and some sagebrush tore holes in the font of both shins. The patches held up though!
I'll second the ripstop by the roll recommendation. I bought and made one of their dyneema pouches for a cheap practice project last year. I did notice the dyneema was a little tougher for the needle to punch through multiple layers when it was folded over. I just used a thicker needle and had...
Clever and cheap. I like it! If you want to spend a few bucks on something that locks more solid check out the wiser precision quick stix. It's also pretty great to just lock the poles together so they don't flop around.
I had a friend who did a few years back. It'll smoke like hell the first time you fire it up until that paint burns off. Put a layer of sand or gravel on the bottom to prevent burning a hole in the cheap metal.
