I am in the same boat.
You have to figure in the application. Down is good for sitting like ice fishing but not good for hiking in.
Where are you walking, as some light nylon exteriors won't take the beating in the bushes and brambles that the heavier materials can.
The weight factor?
Can they be rolled up in your pack or are you working on a farm or oil derrick?
Down vs gortex vs wool vs water resistant vs wind resistance.
I am leaning towards the ice fishing application; lots of sitting exposed to not too harsh of weather.
I am curious to see some responses.
Thanks in advance....
