[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1557965, member: 54178"] I got a deal on a sale of an Eddie Bauer PEAK XV parka. [I]It is likely good to -40 F./C.[/I] I've experienced -40 F. but not with this parka - so far. Bauer identifies it as a "base camp/expedition parka". The PEAK XV parka is almost exactly the same design as Patagonia's Fitz Roy parka but the PEAK XV is likely a bit warmer and is heavier - and a lot less expensive when on sale. ->It has "Storm Down", EB's Durable Water Repellant (DWR) down. Like the Dri Down and Down Tech versions it repels moisture and soaks up 30% less than untreated down and drys 60% faster. ->The shell is a Cordura brand fabric that is very tough but light ->The hood is "helmet compatible" and it does easily fit over my ski helmet. ->This is a FULLY baffled parka, torso, arms snd hood, meaning no sewn-thru seams and no cold spots. It comes in blue with red zippers and lining and all black (recommended for hunting). Sale price $299. regular price $499. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
