LL Bean's entry level goose down parka Price pint has hovered just over the $100 price point - I have an early one from 2 years ago that holds up well its not for hiking in... but it works well as a second piece of kit in winter backpacking when destined camp. I use it when I don't feel like getting into the mummy bag all the way. Then if I get up at night the bag comes off and I am still warm for the midnight pitstop. There has always been each year some interest in getting good kit for the winter at a fair price. Right now its on sale... Down absorbs the sweat and as a your heat against any moisture in the air the down "soaks up the water and retains it..." over the course of a 7 miler in a recent test this jacket did extremely well in a bug out back to the car. I tossed it in the dryer with a bunch of tennis balls and it was back to new. Stop by the stores or call ahead to make sure its in stock.
comes in at 1lbs and a few ounces for the hood.
I am working with the one that just arrived for Christmas with downtek and shoved the driveway today and it didn't "soak up" but I am still testing.
