On sale and I have no spare money
Stocks of the larger sizes are very limited I was just informed but they do have XXL and XXXL available

I only sold mine because it was a size smaller than anticipated so I would say buy a size bigger than you usually think you need
Very LW and good value

... or only $9.00 if you buy on sale in the US:

compared to $79.90 in Australia.

I have not bought either so I do no know the quality.

No point trying to buy if all sizes are "out of stock"
Those that are in stock are the same price as here but in USD which means 30% dearer in real terms
Somebody please buy those 3-finger gloves so I can buy a new down parka ROFL

Yup I sold mine as well as it was a size too small. Considering picking another up, they're so cheap! I found it to be pretty toasty too, fine for under a shell when skiing in -10 temps.

I find I don't miss the zipper. my army type cardigan [ M-65 liner] just has buttons as does my current vest and it works just fine

Well I got one. Took a long while to arrive, took them 3-4 days just to post it. Maybe they wait for the ducks to shed the down naturally, sustainably, and then they stoke up the Dyson.
Its XXL but really a XL, its in black, the nylon they use is about as thick as gladwrap but the thing is its lightweight. I'm officially spoilt, I've never had a down piece of clothing before.

I ordered this one in RED
I'm hoping going up the size will help with the layering problem
I wouldn't normally layer down over synthetic but with the Mont-Bell being such a slim fit the hope is that this will fit over it and I can leave one of the LW fleeces behind and use the MB as the midlayer

Cecile asked me "Why a red one?" and of course I replied "Red ones are warmer"

Of course. That's why I always go for the red if it's an option.

Mine arrived Friday
Fits me with just enough room to fit my mid-layer under it
EDIT
I should mention that the Mid-layer in question is the Mont-Bell Thermawrap parka and while I would normally use the down under the synthetic this seems to work well :mrgreen:
This seasons have the fill weight on the label, mine says 83 grams; the same parka from Macpac has 112 grams which is a lot more but not enough to justify a retail price of $399- and sale price of $250-

Then buy a medium and have some room for a LW fleece under it if needed.
