Hey everyone,
So I need some clarification. I'm looking at the newest Patagonia DAS Parka right now. It uses Primaloft One according to patagonia.com. Now, I have a Wild Things Belay Jacket from January 2006. It uses the same insulation, but it has since become compressed in the shoulders and now has a bit of a 'bell' shape to it with the insulation migrating towards the bottom. The reason I'm looking at the DAS is because of the issue with the Wild Things Jacket. Now, what should I do? Should I try to bring back my Jacket to see if it can offer some of the warmth that it used to or should I try and grab an old DAS with PolarGuard or Climashield which are both continuous filament insulation (I think). What are the differences between these in durability and has anyone else noticed a similar effect? Thanks in advance.
