Favorite Packable Puffy

[bigbassin]

What’s y’all’s favorite packable puffy? Temp range from 25-45.

Mostly looking for something less bulky and lighter than my fleece. Primary use would be hiking and I’d love to be able to just easily throw it in a small pack.

I'd never personally wear a puffy while hiking, but for static use glassing or sitting stand, the Stone Glacier Grumman is by far the best I've used compared to Kuiu, First Lite, etc. offerings.

Patagonia Nano - 15 oz.
Synthetic insulation (down allergy)
I wear it down to ≈ 15° F (stationary) before adding layers.

For most hunt temps while glassing and at “camp” (usually just a sleeping spot for me) the SG Grumann has been REALLY good!

If it’s colder than 25ish I take my Nunatak Custom puffy instead.

I have a couple. The Patagonia nano puff is the least used or used for adding layers under the Patagonia down sweater. That one is my favorite. For the size and weight it is the go to

The Stone Glacier Grumman is awesome and the hood is the best hood by far of any jacket I’ve owned.

Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer. 10.7 oz. Hands down best packable puffy I have ever owned, and I have a bunch. They recently came out with a UL version which is 6.7 oz. Very tempting.

The hooded Arcteryx cerium is incredible for what it weighs.

As an outer layer cold weather sit and glass jacket?

Which ambient ? And what layer are you using it for? I have the original ambient and I do not find it warm enough for static glassing sessions in temps in the high 20s.
