I Love to go winter backpacking and camping. This jacket seems a bit warm during strenuous activities but perfect for hanging out at night in the snow. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about how well this coat stuffs down in a backpack. in other words is it extremely bulky and takes up a large amount of space? Thanks for your help

Im no pro, nor is my opinion the end all be all of camping or backpacking, but i always have alot more room when i stuff a down sleeping bag vs a synthetic bag, i always found it much easier to compress down, and it all depends on how you stuff it. i always get individual bags for my large things to compress them as much as i can, but that also gives you added weight,if you dont care about pack weight id do the individual bagging. I use a kelty super tioga pack which is around 5000cube. pretty large pack but like i said i always have more than enough room taking downfilled anything. the only trade off is when down gets wet it stays wet and if you have a bag or down jacket thats outerlined with nylon or a similar material....dosnt do well near a fire to dry out, tends to burn in a hurry. which means that when down gets wet it will most likley be wet for the duration of the trip.
