Do I get the Nuptse jacket or flash? I can not decide if I should get the fill Nuptse 700 Jacket 900 or fill flash. Temperature here get about 5 below zero, but with the wind chill it will feel like 15 below
Thank you
You must be well with the Nuptse. I think the Nuptse is cheaper anyway and you'll be able to wear in hot weather too. We examined two jackets, but bought the REI because it was a heck of a lot cheaper.
Who really hot 900 will meet on the 20 deg. and sunny days. I figure in the winter, you'll be wearing a sweater, long sleeves or layers of clothing anyway. Just layer over the -20 deg. days. I took my 700 before filling in -35 (with layers underneath) and I was fine.
