Muh PNW loadout for Fall/Winter. Yes I don't wear rain paints, just high gaitors and DWR pants with wax treatment. Worse comes to worse, if it actually rains instead of just the constant drizzle. I'll get a rain kilt and be covered 100%. I've noticed the upper half of my pants don't get wet either way, mostly just bottom half hence the gaitors.

Post your loadout.

What is everyone else wearing this Fall/Winter?

I am trying to decide between the Rab Neutrino Down Plus and the Patagonia DAS Parka.

Both of these will function as a Parka to be worn on top of my Wool base layer + Fleece + small down puffer. Since I have found those three layers only keep me warm down to 15F if I stop moving. This is my understanding of how the Parka Belaying layer is supposed to be used correct? As a last and final additional layer of peak warmth for when you stop moving and it's really cold?

Anyways, the Rab is insulated with Down and the Patagonia is synthetic. Both have DWR coatings which basically don't do much but the Rab does have Pertex® Quantum Pro outer fabric which is supposed to be pretty damn water resistant (albeit not water proof).

Anyways? Is down or synthetic the better insulation for parkas? What parkas does /out/ recommend and how do you layer them? Which one of these would /out/ get for winter & alpine use?

Lets talk cooking /out/

I thought it would be cute taking my Yeti insulated bottle. But it carries so little water and is heavier than it has to be for just carrying water while /out/
