Might have to look at the Superdown jacket for next winter.

I have the 210 as well. In the description on the site it says it has the brushed polyester fleece inner.
Im currently looking at the Yukon jacket and the chinook. Though the Chugach is something i would look at as well. Anyone got both the yukon and chugach which do you rate better?

I should have looked a bit harder. Still bloody nice

I would recommend the Yukon gear over the Chugach. The Yukon is harder wearing and will survive longer in NZ conditions. The Chugach is strictly rain gear and will get torn up pretty quick in the bush and mountains.
