>>>/fa/16845226I am looking for a belay jacket to be my primary insulation for long static outdoor use. It will also take the place of core insulation in my sleep system, allowing me to use a simpler light overbag or elephant's foot depending on clime, with a warm bivy.
However, it also needs to pull double duty as an acceptably good looking outer jacket for city and travel, as my trips are not purely outdoor and I don't have the backpack space for multiple items that serve the same purpose.
So, are there any good looking, decent fill weight (200g+ of down) belay jackets? Hoodless could be a compromise I could make as I use hats, a buff (scarf) and down balaclavas.
