belay parka... help me narrow it down
|
I don't have the luxury of visiting retail stores randomly to check things out. My old MH compressor hooded jacket/parka is on its last legs, need a new hooded jacket, same or similar would be great, about a pound weight, primaloft or similar, good coverage, hood over helmet, and less than $150 on sale.I have no idea what brands/models are close these days. |
|
Over-the-helmet requirement is the biggest limiter in this category I think. I have been very happy with a Rab Xenon (purchased in 2014, looks like it's now the Xenon X but same basic idea). |
|
i picked up a La Sportiva down on clearance and am super impressed. |

If you can find anyone selling last years BD stance hoody (the 80gm fill, single layer) on sale they were a steal. |
|
I think the old Compressor was a 100g/m^2 jacket. You likely will find the 60g jackets to not be adequately warm (Nanopuff, etc). I'm not aware of any current 100g offereings, but the BD Stance hoody is an 80g jacket, as is the Montbell Thermawrap pro. Either would likely do a good job for you. |

I've got a MH compressor that I've worn maybe 10 times and never climbing I don't believe...if you happen to be interested in a medium blue one go ahead and PM me as I was looking to sell it this winter anyways. |
|
I'm not sure if this is the exact model I have but I have some very similar. Can't beat it at this price: rei.com/rei-garage/product/… |

Thanks for the replies. |

Black Diamond Stance is awesome - I stopped using my compressor after getting a Stance as a gift. |
