When it comes to camping, everything in the pictures/videos/magazines of yesteryear seems bigger. The shoes were thicker, the packs were heavier, and the coats were puffier. The down jackets that grace the covers and ad sections of old camping magazines would never be considered "performance gear" anymore. Rightfully so. But they're sure as hell better looking (in most cases) and if you're not worried about a torrential downpour while you're going snowshoeing, then you really can't beat a good down jacket. The Penfield Summit Classic does it right. A great 60/40 outer and goose down filling (80% down, 20% feather) make this jacket toasty and lightweight. And for those people that want to look like the pictures on this website, then Hudson, MA's Penfield is probably just what you're looking for.
