What’s everyone’s favorite synthetic insulation?

[IdahoJoe29]

Years ago I used the original uncompahgre jacket and I thought it was a good jacket. Great warmth to weight for its size. I have since just been using the Grumman jacket from SG and love it but I am looking at getting a synthetic jacket again. I’m curious what everyone’s favorite synthetic insulation is?

I use a Stone Glacier Cirque and like it so far. It doesn’t compress as well as the uncompahgre though. It’s heavier but overall has been warmer. I’ve debated getting Grumman. Is there anything you didn’t like or a reason you want to go back to synthetic?

Cirque is awesome, FL North Range also a good one.

The Grumman is awesome. It’s just a little too much insulation for September and I find it just sits in the bottom of my pack most of the time. I’m looking for something that’s in between that is like the uncompahgre but not first lite.

I’ve heard the Patagonia nano air is a good piece. Been thinking about getting one.

Yeah maybe I’m just picky but it’s hard for me to spend money on a company that is anti hunting

SG Cirque. Super warm, durable, makes you look legit

Ll Bean may have something that works. Ive had a lighter weight synthetic jacket from them that I have been happy with

Sitka Kelvin (either the Aerolite or gen 1) for me, warm and lightweight. As far as warmth it sits somewhere between a SG Cirque and a Grumman.

That’s all that matters right
