Looking at jackets/coats that pack down for lightweight backpacking. I am very intrigued by the Primaloft products I see. Good reviews, seem warm, and can get soaked and still insulate. Some are rated for sub 0F when active, right around 32F in camp.
Down seems to be recognized as best insulation to weight but not when it is wet. I am starting to see Durable Water Repellent or hydrophobic or what ever you might call it down jackets. Claim is 90+% insulation when wet.
Would love feedback on your coat/jackets and would love to hear if water proof down is truly that - downpour/fall in creek still insulates.
Thanks folks
