what brand have y'all used? Good and bad thoughts
ThanksPrimaloft synthetic. Though it would have to be a rare circumstance to wear the pants, for me.
Thanks going on my one and only sheep hunt and want a set for glassing and possibly sleeping in.I have Kuiu and First Lite both. I like them both equally well and would buy both again. Hope this helps.
For the OP, I would forsure know the pros and cons of down vs synthetic too. I don't think there's a wrong way to go, butttt, I think that usually one will fit what one is looking for a little better then the other.
Thanks I am looking at the Kifaru lost park parka. Not sure on the pants yet.GOOGLE Montbell men's down pants. Their "Superior" model is the lightest and least expensive. The Tec pants are another 25% more with side zippers.
BUT, I recommend buying only pants with down that has some brand of Durable Water Repellant (DWR) treatment, like the Montbell pants. This recent development is amazing at helping down to absorb at least 30% less moisture than untreated down - and dry 60% faster! DWR brands are Dri Down, Down Tec, etc. AT present there are around 5 or 6 brands of DWR.

Also maybe the Sitka Kelvin jacket as it is down and synthetic blend maybe best of both worlds?Thanks I am looking at the Kifaru lost park parka. Not sure on the pants yet.
