Exped Down Booty WB

Protection Ounce for ounce, the down booty is the greatest winter camping invention of all time—until it wets out. Solution: Exped little waterproof booty jackets. “The waterproof nylon shell with a Cordura sole never wet out, even when we stood in the snow for 45 minutes while chopping wood,” says our tester.

Warmth The overshoe cinches down with a simple drawstring for walking around camp, but it’s easy to remove before getting into your tent. The separate, interior booty is 800-fill goose down, which testers said was warm enough to wear without socks in subfreezing temps. Bummer: luxury booties = luxury price. S-L
