Looking for a hooded down puffy closer to 4+ oz of down with a more durable outer fabric in an XXL or XXLT with a sub $200 price tag. All I see so far is the Montbell Highland Parka. Any others?

Cheaper, thicker down hooded jackets?

Oops, missed the size requirements. So, what I had to add was irrelevant. Carry on.
Other than finding something on sale or used, the Montbell is the most likely candidate.

Thanks. I think I should explain this a different way. My system right now is OR Echo ls zip neck. An R2 on top of that. A Westcomb Crest Hoody wind shirt. So what I need is something that will keep be decently warm at 0F at rest.
Cabela’s has some decent to good quality down coats/jackets and are often in larger sizes. (Tall and XXL+)
Most “outdoors” brands (vs hunting/fishing brands…I used the “quotes” on purpose) do not have the larger and taller sizes.
If durable is your criteria, the Cabela’s house brand tends to use the nylon that is more rugged than the nylon used for many lightpuffies. A throw back to puffies circa 2000 or so.
LL Bean. Their down is DWR treated too. I like ’em better than Eddie Bauer’s underfilled down products. EB has not been paying attention to quality lately. Sad.
