Do they ever offer free shipping or anybody know a code? They want 18 bucks to ship one to my address.

i thin this is a lighter more packable version https://www.eurooptic.com/Under-Arm...neItemId=c531be39-8d23-4e6c-b70a-5f6851d18280

hard to find weights

If anyone is buying one in XL, I have one in the classifieds and I'll make it even cheaper.

Great deal on the parka and several other UA Hunt items. FYI - the Alpine OPs parka runs big - I would order a size down (at least they did last year).

FYI - The Alpine Ops parka weighs about 28 or 29 oz.

For those that have experience with this parka how is the exterior material? Seems like it will be durable? Also, how's the noise level?

Out of the puffy jackets I have had I think it seems a little more durable than most and the noise isn’t that bad. But it’s still a puffy and will have noise.
I bought this jacket and the chamberlain at the same time and sent the chamberlain back. I couldn’t believe how loud it was.

I have never owned one but is there such a thing as a quiet puffy? I’ve owned kuiu, Sitka, and stone glacier, none of them have any business doing anything for me other than being worn while glassing/sitting. Not intended to be snarky. If there is a quiet puffy, I'd be interested in it for late archery.

I get your point but some materials are definitely way noisier than others. Was just hoping this isn't the real coarse, almost crunchy nylon.

That is understandable. I noticed that to be the case with the first Kuiu puffy I got when Kuiu first came out.

I have the parka and the puffy pants. The material is quieter than the Kuiu, First Lite, and Kryptek puffys that I've been around. Think more of a swish noise vs crinkle if that makes sense?

runs large. i usually wear an xl. but got a medium and xl in the pants

You can wear a puffy under a quiet outer shell.

Awesome parka for the price! Great down fill. Exterior is more robust than my newer Sitka Kelvin’s. Highly recommend. Med fits like a large with plenty of room to layer. I got mine for $120 bucks from Euro.

 

[FredBear86]

Anybody had their hands on the parka and the down hoodie? Parka is 800 fill weight. Hoodie says 700. Is there a big difference in the loftyness? Know the parka runs big, what about the hoodie? Is the outer material the same? Anyone know the weights between the 2? Any info is appreciated.

 

[MIbowhunter4954]

Anyone know if the "hoodie" version is sized the same (need to order a size down)?

 

[ganngus]

I went ahead and bought the parka because I had a discount code that made it a sub $100 buy. Got it a few days ago. Initial thoughts:

- Robust material that seems like it would be more durable than the average puffy;
- Fit is large, but I bought with intent of wearing over all of my gear for glassing purposes;
- Significantly heavier than any puffies I own;
- Really cool function that pockets have extra filling at opening to prevent heat loss (or so i assume); and
- I really like the fact that bottom goes below belt line. One complaint I have about puffies is they tend to ride up a bit while glassing.

I would not consider this to be a "puffy" in the sense that I have mine in my packet at all times because it is light and you need in an emergency situation. The parka is too bulky and heavy to consider it a puffy in that sense. However, I purchased with during late season hunts at altitude and I know there is going to be a substantial likelihood of me glassing in sub-single digit temps. In those situations, I think this jacket would be better than any of my other puffies.

In sum, I think it was a quality buy at the price point offered above.
