I went to Academy Sports and outdoors yesterday and they had some house brand down jackets on sale for 29$ The fit isn't perfect but cant complain for 30bux. I don't know much about down jackets but when I lay it flat on the ground its a bit over 3inchs thick. Its doesn't have any type of insulated collar at the zipper so I can see that as a problem and its also not baffled like sleeping bags so it might have cold spots. I got the XL since I have long arms so the body section is a bit big, hence my comment about fit. Well weighed it on my works digital scale inside a stuff sack and it weighs 1lb 11.4oz.

I though it might be decent for beginner gear. Especially for 30bux. Going out to the mountains this weekend to hang out with friends in a cabin and want to see if this will keep me warm at night.
Take care.
