I asked a Sitka rep at an event and he didn’t even know..
Sorry, I did not.@Tony Trietch did you ever get an answer on Sitka on this Hyperdown fill being the high end product in the sleep bag, and the primaloft down gold blend in the jacket/pants? If not I'll ask them to comment. When I stopped into their place in Bozeman the sales folks had no clue. Even weirder, they used 900 FP version in their Lite Down line that was discontinued, but using 800FP on this piece. I assume it is to keep prices down and not be at that Super Down Burner parka cost level.
Drake again with a vid today talking about the Hyperdown Jacket/Pant and having the same insulation - tough look when the influencers can't get it straight (in his defense, I'm sure his prototype actually had that fill).
![]() | Ryal J - SITKA Gear (SITKA Gear) Aug 23, 2024, 8:42 AM MDT Hey Lawrence, Thanks for reaching out. The sleeping bag has the ExpeDry down and the Jacket and Pant do not, they will use Primaloft Gold Down blend instead. The reason the jacket and pant do not come with the ExpeDry down is because it is a new down and we were not able to source enough of it to put it in all three products yet. The Hyperdown jacket and pants are still extremely warm and are great products, they just do not feature the ExpeDry down. The jacket and pant will have 8 ounces of fill. Please reach out if you have any further questions. Thank you, Ryal J. |
I know heat & warmth vary greatly from person to person, but there’s no way I could hike or climb in this jacket. It would have to be well below zero for me to consider wearing a puffy this warm for any kind of physical activity.This jacket looks very warm. Maybe to warm for I look for in a puffy. Do you think you could actually climb in this?
