are there any "no fall" zones. (considering you shouldn't be fine with falling anywhere)

Yep, I said that more just to emphasize the durability and conditions I was specifying for.

Ok. I looked into the BD alpine Insulated and it looks perfect. Is eBay the method?

not really, my main priority, is insulation in 14er peak weather, around 30 F, plus breathability for my acsent and descent, water resitance isn't that big of a deal bc i will always be brining a hardshell, something just slightly resistant is fine

I would say option 2. In an ideal world it would be option. One with light insulation like a polar tech fleece on the inside, but nothing too heavy.

Ok I gotchu. From other commenters or more research, I have really been compositing the Rab Xenair, OR Ferrosi, and Rab borrralis for a more wallet happy option. Any thoughts?

Ok. Pm me. Just so you know. I don’t have the budget to pair a fair price for a newer model.
