[QLD Bne] Backpacking Light Cocoon Hoody

Item: Backpacking Light Cocoon Hoody

Size: Large. I'm a 34 in pants and have a broad chest and the fit is quite loose on me. Particularly around the chest.

Condition: As new

Description: This thing is built to be as light as possible while still providing excellent warmth no matter what the conditions. Weight is 288g! Insulation is synthetic so it isn't as susceptible to moisture as down. You can see the FS page for the old version here: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/cocoon_ul_60_hoody.html#.U8h1bPmSy9Q


As much as I love buying winter gear, I just don't have enough time (and enough of a winter here in Brisbane) to use it all so something has to go. These are long out of production and it is still hard to beat weight for warmth.

Price: $130 inc postage and insurance within Australia

You Queenslanders coming down to the Falls Creek basecamp really should be buying this, I'd be taking it for myself if it was an XL or XXL.
it is a perfect layer for our wet snow conditions

Well said... You're making me reconsider selling, but it is rarely wet and cold here (except for yesterday...). On the sizing. It is well and truly a large. Probably bordering on XL in some brands. Particularly around the chest.

I will also have a nano puff jacket up for sale soon.

Hoody is on its way to Moondog in the snow.
