Actual jackets: In [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], down jackets, a classic example is The North Face’s Nuptse Down Jacket ($199). It has excellent 700-fill down, a durable nylon shell that’s treated for water-repellency, and a moderately long cut for good coverage without much bulk. Weighs 24 ounces. For a little more heft, try Mountain Hardwear’s Sub-Zero SL ($280). It adds a hood, and uses Mountain Hardwear’s proprietary Conduit waterproof-breathable laminate, so it’s really weatherproof. Marmot’s Ignition ($285) [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],is nearly identical in specs to the Mountain Hardwear piece.
Bottom line: Really, probably the best all-around down jacket out there is Feathered Friends’ Volant. Just a great piece, with super-fluffy 850-fill down, available with a super-breathable eVent shell, reinforced at shoulders and elbows. I have a 20-year-old Volant that is as good as the day I got it. It’s $399 for the removable-hooded eVent version; $339 with the somewhat lesser Nextec Epic fabric.
I’ve decided to go big ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and invest in a quality down jacket, one that I’m going to wear for the next decade. I may be using it when I’m shoveling snow, snowshoeing in the mountains or just around town. Which jacket do you recommend? – Lindsay, Durango, Colo.
Go for “sweater”: There are a number of good choices, in a range of prices. Maybe the most useful option isn’t a down “jacket” at all, but rather a down sweater. Patagonia’s Down Sweater ($200) may have more warmth per ounce than anything on the planet. Perfect for throwing on when out for a walk or for some extra warmth in the mountains, and it layers nicely under hard shells. Weighs 11 ounces, and packs down to the size of an orange [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],.
