  1. Essentially brand new: carried twice on Rainier and once on Baker, fortunate to have bluebird days so these stayed in my pack. Baffle zip flap keeps super warm, and two-way zip super handy. Detachable hood adds versatility on mountain. Love this jacket but moving in near future so won’t need this weight but also don’t need to sell so pretty solid on price. Unlikely you’ll need it but FF warranty is legit. Stored in large open bag so hasn't been compressed short of the three trips. Not only USA made, Seattle made! Size Small. Fits easy over insulation and hard shell for normal size small or standalone, those size medium. New was $499 so $100 off (plus no sales tax so, really saving $158!) In Seattle area, glad to meet up any reasonable distance. Fill Weight: 13 oz Average Weight: 30 oz Features: Baffled construction Large interior stash pocket Zippered hand warmer pockets Zipper draft flap & lycra trim seals out drafts Fleece lined collar Removable hood Down filled zipper draft tube, draw cord hem & velcro cuffs to seal out drafts 850+ fill down The Frontpoint is a mid-length, fully baffled down jacket designed for cold winter conditions and high altitude mountaineering. The cut is roomy in the torso to accomodate other layers, and extends about four inches below the waist. The detachable hood is generously filled, wrapping around the sides to cover the lower part of the face, while the stiffened brim shields against wind and snow. The hood fits over a climbing helmet perfectly. Inside you will find large cargo pockets to carry water bottles, food, or anything else you want to keep from freezing. The Frontpoint Jacket is perfect for ice climbers or expedition climbing in Alaska, South America or for winter use in the greater ranges of North America.
  2. I'm pretty happy with my Ambit3 Peak years later, a great ABC watch, has waypoints, and will make cool videos of your runs/climbs/hikes through the Suunto app. The brand new 9 looks nice with a touch interface but pricey. Outdoor Gear Lab has a good write up of some options: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-altimeter-watch
  3. Looks great- Looking forward to doing this next later this month
