Warm but delicate

I've been using this for a while now, and can't lie when I say it's great for keeping you warm. However, a big issue is the lack of water repellancy and high risk of down compaction.

The one and only

Very nice, however runs short from back to bottom. If you want a jacket that falls below the hips, this might not be the one.
