What our reviewers liked and didn't
Super Down PRO Pant
- Waterproof reinforced seat and knees allow sitting directly in snow and mud
- Full-length side zippers enable fast transitions without removing hunting boots
- Exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio packs down to the size of a water bottle
- Treated water-resistant down retains loft against sweat and condensation
- Ripstop shell fabric is too noisy for stalking inside close distances
- Lightweight main body nylon is vulnerable to puncturing in heavy brush
Grumman Down Pant
- Unmatched warmth-to-weight ratio using high-loft 850+ fill down
- Full-length side zippers allow quick layering without shedding boots
- Compresses down to minimal volume inside a loaded backcountry pack
- Water-resistant down treatment resists loft collapse from body vapor
- Ultralight face fabric will easily tear on sharp rock, scree, or timber
- Not suitable for active hiking due to low breathability and snag hazards
- Requires an outer hardshell for protection in sustained rain or wet snow
