Sierra Trading Post is a great place to find reasonably priced jackets. With respect down fill power, if all the jackets you view have the same amount of down fill, let s say 200 grams, and they are 600/700/800 fill power, then yes, the 200g jacket with 800 fp down will be warmer. The main reason you should opt for the higher fp jacket is because you want the lightest weight garment. But lighter isn t always better. Typically, the lighter the garment the more delicate it will be.

That mummy is a pretty crafty dude. If he doesn't get you with a fall from a cliff, he might try punching your ticket with hypothermia. Better to have too much warmth available and not need it than too little, IMO. Stay safe out there.

My arcteryx cerium has never let me down and I find it to be very packable. I also use a kuhl spyfire hooded vest with a arctery Zoa base layer when it's 40+ and if I get cold, I'll add my rain jacket.

Different category form this review, but I recently bought a RAB Electron Pro, and it is awesome. It's gotten a little too warm now in MI for it, but I'm super excited to use it next winter

I picked up a GW hoody and found the Cerium LT not quite what I needed. I can't hike in down and unless it's 10 outside, I'm in synthetic and a shell.

I still have my original Montbell men s down jacket from my 2009 AT NOBO. So light, so warm, such great quality! Best on trail purchase ever.

I have a Montbell Frost Line Down Parka, 800 fill power. Bought it 3-4 years ago, great jacket. It's a Montbell closeout this year.

Great review, I just upgraded to the Ghost Whisperer 2 jacket & pants for my upcoming thru hike. I'm definitely a puffy convert.
