I've started to prepare for my trip. Preparations include lots of research! I'm trying to decide what type of coat to bring with me. I know it won't be cold the whole time we are in Alaska but I guess I have 2 different coat options. I have my northface down and I have my white bonfire snowboarding jacket. I'm not sure which would be best. My snowboarding coat is water resistant and my northface isn't. The bonfire is warmer but it's heavier and bulkier. I don't want to get there and wish I had the other one with me. I know they say that layering is key, but I just don't know which would be best. So the question now is which coat would be best. I'll post my itinerary next.
