My Nepal down pants
Although I have not officially used my down pants in Nepal which is slated for April I have tried them on and they feel great I have a FF down parka I used at Denali years back which was outstanding

Love these!
I live in North Dakota and we walk in sub zero temps, at night, during the winter. It's usually windy which takes temps even lower. I have been wearing these over a base layer (smartwool) and mid layer and they are making a difference. (It's currently 0-20 degrees here. I haven't yet tried them at -20) I recently wore them winter 'camping' in a dry cabin where it was around 30 during the night. Slept with them on inside of two sleeping bags and was cozy. They are well made and squishy/cozy. I like the zippers up the side for getting on and off over boots. I'm female, 5'5'', and 108 lbs. I purchased an xs and have ample room for layers. (I also tried the next warmth level up, the Volant. They were great, felt slightly warmer, and seemed more wind resistant. - Thus were just slightly stiffer.) I may order them in the future for the -5 to -30 range.)
Super Warm
High quality full side zip pants. Love the box baffled construction, maintains high loft.
Perfect expedition pant.
These pants kept me warm at -50F in the Ellsworth Range in Antartica. Super easy to drop for bio breaks. Incredibly light both on the legs and in the pack. Combined with a R&I parka, they beat a suit for practicality and are just as warm.
very warm
They do come with a stuff sack.
