Need recommendations for new winter jacket BWCA

What did you find?

I have a Peak XV and its crazy warm and nice, no regrets on the purchase.

Nope, I was mostly just curious. I've been thinking about a warmer jacket (live in Winona, MN, but do a winter, or near-winter camping trip in BWCAW once or twice a year), but never quite settled on anything, partially because I got a down jacket from Walmart on clearance for $9, so while there are obviously better out there, it's hard to get that price to performance ratio. Those would be about the same temps I normally see on winter trips, so I was pretty curious.

JP, where did you see they "cheapend it up by reducing the down amount over 2 ounces to 10.5oz for medium"?

To be honest, I think all of them should work. The Permafrost is an awesome value- the Windstopper does make a difference, but you pay for it in weight.

I bought a Neutrino Plus online after trying on the Neutrino Endurance in a local store. Be aware that the Plus is sized larger than the Endurance. I nearly returned the Plus as it felt too large, but then I decided I'd be wearing it over a midlayer (MB Mirage) and the extra space would come in handy.

For -15 in camp I'd want more than 10 oz of down. I'd buy a Rab Andes for that if I didn't own a MEC Reflex (no longer made).

Being from that area I can tell you that 30-45 below zero is not unusual. Be warm!
