Pros | Very warm, poofy and light, comfortable fit, mobility features, excellent adjustability | Lightweight, well-placed synthetic insulation, warm hood, easy to layer, great features and adjustability | Good warmth to weight ratio, highly compressible, versatile, great coverage, high quality down, good wind resistance | Incredibly lightweight, breathable, comfortable, great for high output activities | Thick and warm, longer torso, comfortable stretch-knit cuffs, large versatile hood |
Cons | May be too warm for mild climates, hood volume adjustment is velcro rather than toggle | Could be cozier, exterior material is relatively thin, expensive | Harder to layer under a shell, lacks specific-use features, can see down through light colors | Relatively fragile exterior, not many adjustment points, not very warm when you're not moving | Very narrow through the hips, hood cinch system doesn't get that small |
Bottom Line | An impressively warm jacket that offers a highly mobile fit, great adjustability, and cloud-like comfort | A streamlined fit, good warmth and mobility, and a low, packable weight make this down jacket great for a variety of uses and climates | A cloud-like puffy jacket that's filled with high-quality ultra-warm down and offers great everyday warmth in even the coldest climates | This featherweight and highly packable jacket is a great choice for gram counters and winter adventurers | A warm, thick jacket with an oversized hood and stretch-knit cuffs we love to wear, but narrow hips that restrict who it fits |
