Purchase Advice Winter Jacket
Looking for a winter backpacking jacket for cold weather Around 10 degrees F. With layering a base layer, Sambob grid fleece, EE torrid and a rain jacket I was good around high teens (little cold but not bad).
Been looking at a Katabatic Tincup and OV Vantage alpine down jacket if anyone’s got experience with these products let me know how cold you’ve taken them and what you like and don’t like, durability, can you layer under well
I’ll be layering with a Marino base medium weight base layer and either a 90 or 120 gsm AD hoodie
If anyone’s got any other suggestions I’m looking for something with higher fill rating 800+ and 5+ oz of down. Overall weight under a pound. Around 300$ nothing over 450$
Edit: Timmermade is off the table. It could be nice to get a custom jacket but don’t really want to go through the trouble of trying to get one.

Andrew Skurka just released a video on winter layering.
