Fromage Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 If you are planning on climbing Cho Oyu and don't know anything about down jackets you are in for an interesting trip. To increase your chances of returning alive, you should call the folks at Feathered Friends who know a thing or two about down gear and expedition outfitting. (206) 292-2210.

iceaxe23 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 850 is just the warmth to weight ratio of the down. Is it a parka, a middleweight, or down sweater? if it's a himalayan parka then yes, if it's a down sweater than no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
