Very helpful theonlywayisup, thanks. So to compare jackets seems it is necessary to multiple the weight of filling by the fill-power to get a representative measure.theonlywayisup wrote: »Not from this thread (and I know nothing of down togs/weights/measures) but this comment by another MSE'er may help you work out what "numbers" you need to be looking out for.0 -

Odlo, well respected brand. Very good quality, brand Norwegians wear cross country skiing.
Personally I'd get one with a hood.0 -

Although doesn't say the fill weight, it's 90/10 down, so no cheap rubbish. Uses pertex quantum, not a cheap fabric. https://www.wiredforadventure.co.uk/5-of-the-best-mens-insulated-jackets-on-the-market/0 -

Perhaps I sould have pointed out the reason for looking for a Down jacket is for the warmth, it doesn't matter to me about the ability to pack it into a small light space, just looking for something with extremely good insulation.0
