Heavier Puffy suggestions

[satchamo]

I’m looking for a heavier puffy with a hood to run on a late season elk hunt this fall. I currently have the umcompagre which is great for taking the edge off in mornings and evenings during archery but it doesn’t quite cut it once winds and cold kick in. I will be using it to glass so I’m looking more for something to wear stationary.

I am not brand loyal but I’d prefer solid vs camo. I’d rather not spend over $300 but saving money is good too

Any suggestions?

I’d just wear a good fleece under the puffy you have. If it’s windy or REALLY cold, add a shell or some sort over them both

Sitka WS if you can find one.

Look for a sitka Kelvin down WS( wind stopper), they are discontinued but check around used markets. Not the Kelvin lite. It has a lot of fill, not sure how much tho.
Look for 5+ oz of down fill.
Also, check Feathered Friends and nunatak custom offerings for a world of actually warm puffies.

Yeah, what he said ^^

Just picked up a Rab Positron. Looks like 10+ oz down. Mountaineering brands perform better in my opinion on down products. Usually more cost effective too
