Down Jacket for Mt Washington, Elbrus, Aconcagua on 03/05/2012 08:55:04 MST Print View

Hi All

I'm planning a trip to Mt Washington and looking for a solid down jacket. Ideally I would get somthing that I could use for other mountains like Elbrus & Aconcagua.

If anyone has any recommendations that would be fantastic. I'm curently looking at the Patagonia Fitz Roy Hooded Down Jacket as a shell or mid layer if the weather gets cold.

Thanks in advance for an info.

Hi Stephen,

The following two threads will be a great start in helping you reach your decision. Pay particular attention to Richard's posts...he often gives more insightful and objective information that proves more worthwhile than a lot of our general opinions and recommendations.
