needs:
synthetic jacket to layer over down vest to get me down into teens (PA winters)
montbell's thermawrap
patagonia's micro puff
mountain hardwear's compressor
any others worth looking into?
all 3 also have hooded versions – which raise the cost approximately $50. is the insulated hood worth it?
also i saw montbell makes a jacket called the 'flatrion parka', yet i've heard nothing about it.
