So go get the Flightor the Lucidand stay warmer.Free UK Mainland Delivery (Standard Signed For) on Orders Over £75! But when it rains you were a waterproof shell, right? And even if down does get damp, it takes quite a bit of water to really remove its insulation value. So what about the water angle? Its true that down can wet out, at which point it takes forever to dry and doesnt offer much insulation during that time. But cost isnt really a factor here as both down pieces are competitive with synthetic. The two downsides are cost and water-resistance. Its also softer, packs down more easily, and lasts longer. I just prefer downits warmer for each ounce of fill than synthetic. Still, for backpacking, Id go with a down piece, either the Flight or the Lucid. I use a Micro Puff as a skiing base layer and love it. Other solid candidates include Moonstones very fine Lucid Down Jacket ($160 or Patagonias synthetic-fill Micro Puff Pullover ($148 which are each similar to the Flight and the Cocoon in features and warmth. Its even lighter than the Flight (8.5 ounces) but achieves that in part by eschewing features such as a full zip. Bozeman Mountain Works Cocoon Pullover ($179 on the other hand, uses Polarguard Delta, the newest iteration of that long-popular synthetic fill. But, what to go withdown or synthetic? Western Mountaineerings new Flight Jacket ($199 uses high-quality 850-fill down to create a very warm piece thats still very light, only 10 ounces! And its a lot of jacketthe Flight actually could be seen as a very light down parka. ![]()
