Warm down jacket and pants for women?

[Macintosh]

Need to get my wife a heavier down jacket and puffy pants. She’s not petite, but still curvy so mens sizing usually fits terribly. Looking for a high quality, very warm jacket something on the order of a grumman jacket that is highly packable, light, for sitting around for hours on end at below 20f. Does not need to be a hunting company, but should be an earth-tone-ish color. The first couple places I looked dont make any womens sizing in their warmer models. Most everything Im seeing is much lighter jackets with 3-4oz of fill, which she’s already got covered. Any suggestions where to look?

My wife wears a Prois puffy jacket and uses a Get Out Gear blanket in lew of puffy pants for glassing sessions. Prois makes an insulated pant as well.

So far this is a front runner:

Will definitely love to hear from anyone who has used any of these options, and what conditions it has worked well in. My wife runs cold.

I would check out the Arcteryx women’s cerium hooded jacket. My wife has also tried one from first lite and kuiu. She says the arcteryx is a lot warmer and we were able to find it for a good sales price.

Looks great, but she is looking for a warmer jacket than this, probably something with half-again as much fill. If doubling a lightweight down jacket like this is the best option we’ve got that covered already.

I have 4 down coats the warmest two are feathered friends and montbell. The kuiu super down and stone glacier Grumman are very warm, but these two are super warm

This is sounding like an extreme case with only one logical solution...the Castanza puffy:


How about one of those heated options? My wife had a heated vest she used on occasion and sounded like improved her comfort. I have found when it comes to my wife enjoying an outing in the cold, sucking it up and carrying a little extra weight can be the trade off. For a spell my wife insisted on having her insulated Carharts overalls and I lugged those suckers all over the place in exchange for more time in the field. Every time I tell my wife "be bold, start cold" she invariably adds another layer that somehow ends up on my back before we're even outta site of the truck!
Good luck! I understand your quest!

@dgfavor She’s got a heated vest, but I worry about reliably charging it in the backcountry.
