BIG down Jackets

DaveBromley · Oct 13, 2014

I'm going on a trip to Kittila in January and am looking for a "Mothership layer" I want something with decent down fill power (ideally 650+ or higher) it needs to be at least XXl preferably bigger (not the smallest chap and will be layered up with wool jumpers)

I have a budget in mind but want to see what people have.

If you dont have anything but have a link to a good supplier please feel free to put that up also

Thanks

Dave

Does it have to be Down Dave.

Heartily recommend the Swedish M90 in the 195 size or bigger if you can find it. Layered up well, you probably wont need much more insulation than that and if you do, you'll be round the fire. What it lacks in warmth is made up for with it's extra length. The Polycotton outer is pretty spark resistant and the synth fill is better suited to the vastly differing temps.

I'm a big fan of down but I find a big, warm down jacket redundant most of the time out there for what we do (living by the fire)

I have a sasquatch jacket which is rated comfort of -10. A little on the big side for me.

You can also design your own jacket to a certain degree.

I have a some of their stuff and they're a great company to deal with and great products, not the cheapest but really good dependable quality,
Made in the UK as well.

Sizing of these is determined by two numbers, like 190-75.
The first being the height of the wearer. err on the big side, if you want long sleeves.
The second is weight. Likewise choose a bigger one, if you need to cover more body.
