Anyone have this style?  The tag number is 84651f5.

How does it compare to the newer Fitz Roy parkas?

That jacket is from 2005.   Fabrics and construction have improved considerably.  The down not so much.  Pretty hard to make any direct comparison to a current Fitzroy.  Depending on how that jacket was stored, cared for, and what you need it for it might be a great jacket.

Mikey nailed it. That jacket was simply called the "Patagonia down parka" and it was 850 fill. I had one, it was very warm. As long as the shell material is good it'll be a great jacket. I would check the stitching for degradation and see if there is any UV fading on the shell. I think an XL weighed about 2 lbs but the fill ratio was very high. I had one that I planned to use in Alaska but that trip never materialized. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
