Kifaru Lost Park Parka size compressed

[snowcamoman]

Can anyone tell me roughly how small the Kifaru LPP can compress down to? I'm a medium size too if anyone has that size in particular. Thanks

I can get my XXL into a large pullout.

A little larger than a Nalgene bottle mines a large.

Nalgene sized isn't bad at all. I'd guess the medium would be very close to the nalgene. I'm likely to stuff it into a small silnylon roll top drybag or cuben drybag.

I keep my Large in a large pullout, with gloves and hat. It'll go smaller for sure.

How are you guys compressing your LPP? I can't get mine smaller than a basketball.

I'll test it out this week, pulled the trigger on a medium.

I'm using a stuff sack. I'll post a pict later tonight.



That's an extra small stuff sack. And the hood is on the lpp. Remove that and it will get even smaller.

Thanks for the picture 7stw, I'll get mine down to that size or smaller, can't wait.

I have a review from Rokslide Mod Brock Akers on the docket for the Lost Park. It'll probably be a week or two but PM him if you still have any questions.

Received the LPP yesterday and did some quick checks on it. Impressive is all I can say about the warmth of the thing. I can compress my size medium with hood down to around a 6" sphere pretty easily. Durability looks superb and the fit was right on the money. As others have noted, the fabric in the sleeves tends to want to grab my hands and arms as I slide it on, but it's not that big of a deal. I wish that the chest pass through pocket had a way to close it up, so I could stash goods in there and not have to worry about them falling out, but again, it's easy to deal with and I'll simply put things in my cargo pockets if needed. It will be going with me into the mountains this summer and I'll ditch my SD jacket and likely my soft shell. So weight wise, I'll be lighter and a little less volume too, since the soft shell doesn't compress much at all.
