Still, a great jacket should be able to at least minimize wind.
Windproof: Similarly, we didn’t find a good, truly windproof option from any brand. A realistically great jacket would be able to dry indoors in several hours and would have some exterior treatment coating (DWR) that would cause water to initially bead on contact, rather than be absorbed immediately. Although goose down is generally considered to be the warmest insulation material, the trade-off is it’s useless when wet. Water resistance/drying process: No down jacket available in today’s market is truly waterproof. Brushing against undergrowth or tree branches, jostling car keys in pockets, and backpack straps should not cause damage to the jacket (but shouldering Grand Slalom ski gates might). A great jacket should not rip, tear, or pill when used in average outdoor settings. Durability: We defined this feature as a low susceptibility to ripping or tearing or seam separation. It should be comfortable enough to hike in, cycle in, climb in, even sleep in (for those overnight camping trips with dropping temperatures). #CINCH HOODIE FULL#
Flexibility: A great jacket should enable the wearer to experience their full range of motion without being hindered. For a 650-fill-power jacket to be as warm as an 850-fill-power one, it would need to be thicker, bulkier, and heavier. One ounce of 850 fill will be warmer than one ounce of 650 fill since it’s made up of higher-quality down with more loft. And it is usually packaged in a soft outer material that’s more susceptible to rips and tears.For our down options, this meant looking for a reasonable volume of high-quality down filling, which is measured by “fill value.” The fill value reflects how much loft and quality the down has fill values typically range from 650 to 850. Known to maintain warmth without needing active motion, down will protect against colder temperatures but will be rendered useless when wet. Down is favored by those who prefer the dry wintery conditions that see frigid temperatures without much moisture. Tester Tristan Baldwin chooses synthetics for “the high humidity conditions so commonly seen in between-season mountain sports.” When a synthetic jacket gets damp, it stays warm.
Synthetics are better for those who live in damp, moist climates, as well as for pursuits that tend to be rougher on gear-shoulder-season hiking or bouldering, for example.
Warmth: A great jacket should keep you warm, and we tested both down and synthetic insulators to find jackets that, when worn over a light base layer, will maintain reasonable warmth for activities like starting the car on a cold morning. It also has a DWR coating, which will help keep you dry for a short time, but the jacket is not fully waterproof. More susceptible to rips and tears because of its less-durable nylon taffeta shell, this jacket isn’t puppy-proof, but it is capable of brushing against undergrowth and backpack straps without noticeable wear.
The cost savings show up in the form of sometimes-sticky zippers and in the wide baffling (which started shedding down fairly quickly). And due to this coat’s sturdy-seeming stitching, we think it should last for at least a few seasons. For those who live in climates that don’t require you to look like the Michelin Man to survive, this jacket is perfect for just-in-case scenarios when you need extra warmth.
The jacket also comes in a wide range of sizes, is easy to layer under, and looks attractive. Unlike the makers of other budget jackets, REI actually lists down-fill-power numbers-and the 650-fill jacket performs well in moderately cold climates.
