I'm not a man who hikes or hunts fast up mountains, but I do get there. I'm hoping to get in a few short backpack elk hunts this fall. I learned a lot about that style of hunting sheep hunting a few years ago.
I'm now in the market for a puffy coat. I'm a broad shouldered, broad bellied fella, with limited ground clearance.
My primary interest is saving weight over other coats I have when I need an insulation layer, still hunting, glassing, sitting, camp, etc.
I'm hoping to find one in 3x. Something along the lines of the Patagonia Down Sweater. No hood, at least a subdued or earth tone color, good zippers, 800 down, and ideally around the pound mark for weight. DWR coating is a plus I think. I might even consider a quality synthetic. Good packability a requirement too.
I know it is asking a lot. So far I've not found much fitting the bill. Rather not push past the $300 price point if I can help it. I may just have to settle for a 3x size and be happy with the product, but so far haven't located a quality product in that size, and a 2x won't cut it, I don't think.
So, I'm looking for the impossible maybe. Lol. Anyone have any suggestions
