Ok guys here I go, cross post from /fa/ (sorry).
I live in central Italy, mountains in my area are 2400 m tops and I don't do winter climbing, just simple hikes, possibly starting snowshoeing this year.
I need a cheap warm jacket suitable for both my /out/ basic adventures and daily life, commuting to work when it's real cold in the morning.
I still can believe it but I discovered a brick and mortar outdoor store near my town that sells everything from Patagonia at a 20 % discount, so I'm looking at Down Sweater Hoody.
I love that it's super packable and supposedly much warmer than Nano Puff (which I own, it's OK for early winter with just a cotton shirt underneath, I know that's not proper layering but it's what I wear to work).
So, should I buy it or look for something else?
