    How is the outside material for abrasion/snags/toughness? I really like the puffy jackets for how warm and packable they are, but any I've seen (mine included) tear if you so much as look at them. It ends up meaning I don't wear mine much even when I want to, just because I inevitably get snagged on something and tear a panel.

    Stoney creek makes a really tough version (thermotough) that I have, but that's on the far side of what I'm looking for - it's basically a work jacket with down liner. Packs somewhat small, but not enough to fit in a multi day hunt pack.

    I suppose what I'm looking for is something with a thin tough ripstop material in the outside fabric - like the new generations of military pants.
