looking for a puffy

[gearup5000]

As for mtn hardwear, I didn't mean the big square

puffy, but the jacket with the hood, shorter version?

it's got very good details

 

never been a fan of the nusptse, and would opt for the marmot sweater, or the mtn hardwear equivalent

mtn hardwear has, fleece lined pockets and a drawcord in the lumbar area which is a VERY nice feature

 

but on 2nd read I noticed the "belay" aspcet - my bad! -

 

So I would say, check out wildthings

FF Helios down coat w/Epic (16oz). If stationary and it's wet out, I throw on some Goretex over it. I've never had wet down yet.

If its really wet out, do you need to be wearing down? Maybe at a belay, if it is a kind of snowy sleety crap. Either way, I second whistlepunk. FF makes damn fine shit. Throw a hardshell OVER it if it is wet out.

Bought a MH Voodoo a few months back. Love it.

Old model circa 2002 Golite Belay parka has not let me down (2 lbs. however). 4 inner pockets can hold water bottles. Just sized large enough to fit over the layers.
