EXPRESSNunatuk down filled clothing?
Has anyone heard of or used this brand of clothing
www.nunatakusa.com ?
I am interested in the Skaha plus hoodie which weighs a mere 20oz as a backup jacket to carry in my pack on mountain hunts.
How does it compare to the North Face or Lowe garments which weight twice as much for durability?

I have not heard of them, but there are a swedish company that makes really good stuff. It is pricy but the
Klättermusen LIV have had the best reviews, and I would buy one if I could afford it...
I got one for my sister on a sale, (they did not have my size then

) and she loves it.
Sincerely
Daniel

akplsI guess I'm wondering about its usefulness in wet conditions. I've been on some hunts where you would end up with a sopping wet bag of feathers and no way to dry it out.

waterratI've been carrying a lite down jacket in my packs for 25 yrs and its worth its weight in gold when you need it. Campmor has some that are cheap and warm.
