I am looking to carry a lightweight packable down jacket on my NH walk. I am concerned with the temps in the Whites. I found a Outdoor Apparel Royal Falcon packable down jacket at Wal*Mart for $42.47. I doubt I will use it beyond the Whites. I know it is likely not suitable for a thru. I am not doing a thru. It appears that none of these type of jackets are designed to withstand much rain. I could use it as a pillow too. Any thoughts or advice?
Non hikers are about a psi shy of a legal ball.
