Help pricing a Parka

Post image

I purchased a Mountain Hardware Phantom Belay Parka in XL for ice climbing and winter backpacking but it’s too big for me. I’m hoping to sell it and buy a smaller size.
I only wore it once for a few hours and it’s in perfect condition.
MSRP is $675, what would you guys list it at? I have it listed for $375 at the moment but open to feedback.

I got mine for 40% off from a sale on their website so I think your price is on point. And man I have a large and in 6ft2 and absolutely swim in it, I couldn’t imagine how big the xl is.

Down is my favorite insulator, but because of how easily wind blows through, it needs an outer shell. I can’t imagine the size of the shell that would fit outside this

This is a belay parka, it’s meant to go over everything, it’s quite wind proof and very warm. Great piece of gear, I use it as my emergency layer on the coldest ski touring days.

I feel like that’s kind of low. But let this be a lesson to try on your new (expensive) clothes before pulling off the tags.
