Costco down jacket
Just spotted these today...perhaps it's old news.
800 fill down jacket that basically looks like a Patagonia clone for $70. If it holds up to abuse, that's a deal.

Re: Costco down jacket
I tried one on at our local store last week. I question its construction. I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts on it.

Re: Costco down jacket
I've been on lots of adventures where nearly everything went right. For one thing they were adventures because I didn't know how they would turn out. It depends on your perspective.

Re: Costco down jacket
I have one, and I like the construction. It's been on trail with me only one weekend, but I'm happy with it and think it's a very good deal for a layer that's nearly identical to the Patagonia jacket.
