As a result, we sometimes have to call the manufacturers to track down fill weight as its not always listed (for more information, see our article: Down Fill and Insulation Explained). The most direct competitor is the Feathered Friends Eos below, which has similar specs and quality but lacks the everyday appeal of the Arc'teryx here. The stylish metal-snap closure, large baffles, stand-up collar, and subtle colorways offer a great look, but the true selling point (at least for us) is the soft and stretchy shell fabric that give the jacket its name. For uses like backpacking, climbing, mountaineering, ski touringor whenever you have to lug around your own gearthe total weight of your down jacket should play a significant role in your buying decision.

However, the warmth-to-weight and packability just arent the same as down options, and theres simply no substitute for the comfort that lofty plumage brings. But like the Patagonia above, the 650 uses recycled nylon in the shell and RDS-certified down, which adds to overall appeal. If youre in the market for a single down jacket that works well in almost every environment, down sweaters are a great place to start.

For a functional down jacket at a great price, the REI 650 Down Jacket 2.0 is tough to beat. 10 denier is fairly standard for ultralight pieces, and a more substantial 20 denier is what youll find most often in an average down sweater. At this level of quality, you reap the highly touted benefits of down insulation: lightweight and ultra-compressible warmth. Along with warmth for the weight, compressibility is an area where down dominates the vast majority of synthetic-insulated jackets. But were getting into the nitty gritty with these critiques, and most of us arent too deterred by the addition of a few ouncesespecially when theyre accompanied by hundreds of dollars of savings.

However, while the Ghost Whisperer/2 is built to resist a light chill at the belay or during a summer evening at camp, its notably less insulated than most other options here (when you factor in the difference in fill power, its approximately as warm as the REI 650 2.0 above). of 750-fill downWhat we like: Do-everything personality.What we dont: Expensive despite having less premium down. Despite its all round designation (hence the AR), the Thorium is no slouch in the performance department. We keep a close eye on the ratio of fill weight to total weight to see what lengths the manufacturer went to trim weight (the shell denier is a good hint too, and more on that below). One measure were seeing more and more of is the use of responsibly sourced down (look for an RDS certification or, in the case of Patagonia, Advanced Global Traceable Down). Fill: 3.3 oz.

But in the end, it all comes down to intended use and how you plan to layer for your preferred activities.

For a step up in warmth from the Patagonia Down Sweater, the Fitz Roy Down Hoody is built for cold weather and technical use. Youll still want to don a waterproof layer if the skies open up, but the Microlight Alpine stands out as one of the more weather-ready midweight down jackets weve tested. How does the OR Coldfront stack up to the picks above? While Arcteryxs Cerium series shaves weight and features for technical pursuits, their Thorium collection places a bigger premium on everyday functionality. Finally, winter-ready jackets will obviously be the heaviest options, including the 1-pound-10-ounce REI Co-op Stormhenge Down Hybrid. From our experience, Arcteryx jackets like the Cerium LT Hoody fit the slimmest of all and are a good match for athletic folks who demand mobility from their jackets (this can also be good for layering under a shell). And for warmer conditions, the Down With It is available in a hip-length version, which packs in 7.1 ounces of 600-fill down and is affordably priced at $199Read in-depth reviewSee the Patagonia Down With It Parka.

This is noticeable when you get into premium levels of down (800-fill and above), which pack down to seemingly impossible sizes yet bounce back after only a few minutes out of the bag (as long as you dont store it compressed too long).

Put another way, achieving the same amount of warmth with a lower fill power requires more down, adding weight and bulk to accomplish the same comfort goals. Category: LightweightWeight: 15.3 oz.Fill: 3.5 oz. What we dont: Not a lot of subtle color options, no fill weight provided, and not the softest hand feel.

The two jackets shortcomings are similar: The Cubits bulk and heft take it out of the running for weight-conscious missions (we still love it for cragging), and $300 is expensive for a casual down jacket. But compared to our top-ranked Down Sweater, the added $46 is difficult to justify: the Patagonia is warmer and lighter with a similar overall fit and finish (although it lacks the cool Scandinavian styling of the Fjallraven). Throw in responsibly sourced down and the fact that Cotopaxi is a certified B Corp, and the Fuego is an easy jacket to get behind. Another way that gear manufacturers fight moisture is a DWR (durable water repellant) treatment on the outside on the jacket (which we mention in the sustainability section below). Arcteryx added a limited amount of Coreloft synthetic insulation in the areas most prone to getting wet: the shoulders, underarms, cuffs, and collar. Instead, the Gotham fills a nice niche for women who want the warmth and comfort of a down puffy without the techy appearance or specialized features.

Keep in mind that the Marmot Montreal's thigh-length cut is a little shorter than competitors like the Patagonia Down With It Parka, which translates to less protection and warmth (but a more playful style). That said, given the current landscape, we fully expect this to be incorporated into the down jacket world in the next few years. and Feathered Friends Eos (9.3 oz.) of700-fill downWhat we like: Similar styling and comfort as the Rab Cubit below in a lighter package.What we dont: Not equipped for wet weather and shorter cut than much of the competition. weigh very little for the warmth they provide and compress down extremely small in your pack.

In terms of weather protection, the Stratocloud features a Pertex shell with durable water repellent finish, which is enough to fend off light rain or drips from above. Down insulation functions so effectively because the loose clusters of feathers are great at trapping body heat. But the devil is in the details here: the Expedition boasts a layer of synthetic insulation over the shoulders for added protection against moisture, and contrasting pullcords and leather tabs at the collar and a classy logo patch on the chest add a nice dose of flair.

In terms of the competition, the Cerium LT above is significantly lighter, and the use of synthetic Coreloft in the hood and shoulders (which insulates even when wet) lends similar wet-weather assurance. of 700-fill downWhat we like: Mid-thigh length and soft liner.What we dont:Fits small and some might prefer a longer cut. Finally, some jackets will use higher-denier fabrics in high-use areas such as the sleeves and shoulders, which can make a huge difference. 5.8 oz.Fill: 8.3 oz.
