Kute,

I agree about the Rundle. I have the Barney's Supercub which is a ID Rundle with a mulitcam shell. I prefer atleast a 100 gram/m2 of primaloft in my jackets. They seem to work well and even when I got mine wet.

Places like Kodiak I won't take my down gear as I know my insulation layer always seems to get damp no matter how careful I am. Down is nice for a lot of my summer trips where the weather seems to be a bit better. But for flyouts in coastal regions Primaloft seems to be the way to go for me.

Brad, I prefer down when I can swing it, but the synthetic does still keep me warm even when I get it soaked by a slipping in the water during a creek crossing...don't ask me how I know.
