I have both a Marmot 900 fill and a Kuiu Super Ultra hooded jacket, both very packable. In real cold which I'm starting to avoid more and more (except for sneaking on coyotes) I wear an outer water- and wind proof shell over these with a fleece gaitor and with a merino base. My trunk, hands and feet rarely give me a problem; it's my head and neck that get cold. But I'm talking -20 WC and below.

Both those items are a bit pricey but what quality isn't anymore. My main, general gripe with some high quality and spendy outer garments are the fine-toothed, plastic zippers some come with.

ETA: my outer shell is not the Ultra "soft-quiet" stuff as I don't bow hunt for whitetails any longer and it is sufficiently quiet for anything else.
