I'd disagree with that a little. The Mont Bell parka I have claims a 80% retention of heat when wet, and as per my earlier post, that was certainly my experience. I wouldn't say that it's miserable at all!
Completely agree about how fast they dry though, I was astounded that mine dried completely in my tent! |
