Which puffy to get?

[Buglebrush]

For November, I absolutely love the First Lite Chamberlain. I have Kuiu, Marmot, Black Ovis, North face, etc... And nothing compares to the Chamberlain for warmth.

Just saw yesterday that OV just came out with another down coat that’s lighter than there other one.

I’ve always been partial to a brand called Gerry. Every bit as warm as some costing 3-4 times the price. For about 60 bucks you can get a really warm jacket that will last you many years.

Arcteryx cerium is my favorite, I have a OR I like really well too.

I really like my SKRE puffy. I know there are better ones out there and I may buy one someday but I really like my SKRE.

I found this spreadsheet over at ul reddit:

Down jacket indicator 2024

docs.google.com

It lists about a hundred puffys and ranks by warmth per oz and warmth per dollar.

I just ordered the new "Zulu" from Outdoor Vitals. It will replace my Stone Glacier Grumman Lite that doesn't quite fit me right. I love their Vantage Pro down coat I got last fall. Wear it more than I should frankly. Hasn't been cold enough this winter to wear it alot, yet I still do because I love how it feels.

I bought my wife an Outdoor Vitals Nova Pro for Christmas on a whim. She has a tendency to be "cheap" or "frugal" with clothes, so I kind of snuck it into her Christmas stuff. She absolutely loves it. Looks so nice and it is reportedly very comfortable. Quickly becoming fans of the products OV is putting in the market.

Anyway, I think the Zulu will fit my needs for the vast majority of the time.

OV puffies have been exceptional in my limited experience… I have had the Kuiu and the Grumman but kept my ov nova pro and just got the vantage that EXO helped redesign. The nova pro is remarkably warm and the pit zips let you dump some heat when needed. Their pricing is pretty good as far as puffers go as well.
