I'm normally (or used to be) a small in everything. at 5'11" and 145. I'm still a 36" chest now that I've put on 20lbs from climbing, most of it in my back. While I don...

Re: Re: Early warning
Stephen, that's the point though. The Alpine Light Parka has around 4.5 oz of down, half what is claimed in a Mojave. Other jackets that are in the 9oz of 800+fp range are the Rab Neutrino vari...
