Ultralight Puffy Vest

[9.1]

I'm in the market for something like the Kuiu Super Down LT Puffer Vest. I like that it has 850FP hydrophobic down and weighs only 6 oz. Is there any other vest that can compete with these specs for layering under a jacket for extra warmth?

Good call. I wrote that off for being heavier and having a sheen, but it appears all the extra weight is in the additional down.

Nailed it.

I'm happy with my FL brooks down.

The Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer vest is 800fp and 5.6oz. I have no experience with it though

Feathered Friends makes some very cozy down vests. 7oz total with 2.2 oz of 900 fill power down.

I have the Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer vest. Very light

I have both the SG Grumman and an Arcteryx Cerium LT vest. I reach for the Cerium more often. The SG has a snug taper at the waist for some reason, it’s a common complaint.

I love my Patagonia nano puff vest. I wear it every day in cool and colder temps. Perfect for layering when it gets COLD outside and if I dont need it I can tuck it away in my pack. It just works for me.. hiking and every day use.
