The 650 Down Jacket is one of the best budget three-season puffer jackets you can buy, more so at this price. At 10.9 ounces, it's reasonably lightweight and has large hand pockets and some very nice internal pockets for stashing a hat or gloves. The kids' version is also on sale in a nice yellow color that's handy for spotting your child in the snow.
The Ghost Whisperer Down Jacket is my top pick for a backpacking puffer jacket. It weighs just 6.7 ounces for a men's medium (7.3 ounces for the men's large I tested), packs down to a tiny little thing (stuffing into its own pocket), and the 1,000-fill-power goose down offers one of the best warmth-to-weight ratios on the market. The men's version is technically on sale right now, but the only size available is small and XXL.
This is my favorite puffer jacket, especially in the shoulder seasons when temps dip a little lower. It features 4.5 ounces of 1,000-fill down (men’s medium), which is half the weight of the overall jacket. The internal TILT lining (short for Thermo Ionic Lining Technology), may or may not do anything, I haven't been able to devise an effective test, but even if it did nothing, the amount of 1,000 fill power down combined with the scant weight makes this an appealing option for ultralighters. The 7D fabric (which is what keeps the weight low) does need babying, but I haven't had any issues in over a year of use.
This is great deal on a very warm down parka. It's thigh length, which helps keep drafts up your back to a minimum, and fits pretty well, though it's definitely boxy (what do you want from a 650 down fill parka that's designed primarily to keep you warm?). I did find that the main two-way zipper can be fiddly, and does sometimes snag, but it's hardly a deal breaker, especially at this price.
Six Moon Design's Lunar Solo is one of the best single-wall ultralight solo tents you can buy. It's not without its quirks (read the pitching tips), but if you want something more than a tarp, that still weighs just 26 ounces (740 grams), this one is hard to beat. Use the Code YULEHIKE to get the 25% off.
Nemo's Hornet tents are some of the lightest freestanding tents around. The 1-person model is my go-to for situations where I might have to pitch on rock or concrete slabs (like staying in towns on a longer bikepacking trip). It's roomy enough for you and all your gear, light enough at 2.25 pounds (without stakes), and packs down remarkable small. It's also held up well in storms, though you will want some extra guyouts if the wind is really howling (I like Zpacks 1.2mm dyneema cord for lightweight guylines).
This is the bikepacking version of Big Agnes's popular Copper Spur tent. The only difference, aside from color, is that the pole segments on this model are shorter (to make it easier to store on a bike). The Copper Spur line is very nearly the lightest freestanding tent around (it's just slightly heavier than the Hornet above), and if you happen to use it with trekking poles you get what I think is the best feature, the covered awning modification for the vestibule. While this is the best deal, the 2-person model is also on sale for 20% off.
This is one of my favorite ultralight sleeping bags. There are lighter quilts out there, but when you need the warmth of a mummy bag on those colder nights, this
