Who uses a really bulky puffy jacket? ThinkI’m of a super warm piece of static insulation, like the kind that is really too thick for wearing under anything like a kuiu super down pro or a Sitka kelvin down WS hoody.
i have a few puffy that I would call midweight - uncomphagre and a Sitka kelvin. My warmest jacket is a Patagonia synthetic puffy that weighs 2# and is like a walking sleeping bag. I rarely take it on backcountry trips because it is pretty bulky in addition to its weight. I was tempted by some of sales on the kelvin down WS hoody but the weight is about the same as my patagonia, although I imagine it blocks wind better. I was / am looking at the kuiu super down pro but they don’t have a solid in my size. There are a couple of options from RAB that I like.
So who runs one and what do you like and not like about them?
