I tend to wear a lot of Merino underlayers and midlayers when moving and throw on an aging 850 fill down Lightweight packable puffy when it's really cold or when I'm sitting.
I'm thinking about replacing it this year and might want to go with a synthetic this time. I like to pack the puffy into a pocket about twice the size of a Nalgene when not in use and would like to keep doing that. Water resistance would be nice.
Any good insulated jackets in a solid brown or dark tan I should look at? I'll spend a decent amount for something good but wouldn't mind a cheap high-preforming option too as I'm hard on this layer with constant compressing.
