Anybody seen the Steve and Barry’s University Store. They have a down jacket for 10 dollars. Since the nearest store is couple hours away, I was wondering if anyone knows how much the jacket weighs?

There is a Steve and Barry’s in town here. Don’t know the weight, but they specialize in bottom dollar clothing. Six dollar sweatshirts, nine dollar jeans, etc. I would assume that the down used is the cheaper (heavier)variety. Same with the shell materials. If your still intersted, I don’t mind give them the ol’ eyeball scale next time I’m on that side of town.
If you don’t mind. I got one of their polarguard jackets and have been using it on backpack and Scout campouts for last couple of years. It was cheap (price and quality) but extremely light weight and compressable. Best $6.99 spent
Intersting. I’ll try my best to get out there this weekend. I’d look pretty funny carrying my scale in. Got any ideas? Maybe carry something (full Coke can?) to compare it to?
Coke would be good comparison. Thanks
Curtis,
Just an eyeball guess, looks like 12-15oz. Hope this helps. P.S. Looks decently made. Should hold up for a while.

Probaby a great value for the price at $9.98 — BUT be sure to check the fill content.
The “Double Down” jacket I checked out today at Steve & Barry’s had a fill content of 50% Ball Polyfill, 40% Feathers and 10% Down. I did not specify goose or duck feathers/down so its probably duck. Probably not a particularly warm jacket for the weight.
