    My probably annual winter jacket recommendation thread!!

    No heat instant/emergency food?

    Ha no chance, far too bulky for the army. We were given them on a trial let’s say and the piecing didn’t always work. When you were issued with nothing else, this was not fun.

    Down bags for the bigger person

    Personally I would keep the bag you have. Big pack size or not you can’t beat a good nights sleep. I Still use the army bouncing bomb 90 ptn. Down even with condensation and damp in the air can get your bag wet. Summer I use snugpak centre zip, I know not popular any more but great for me
