Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

down jacket decent points:

• 850 fill power - average. might expect 900 for that price. it does make a difference.
  
• traceable down - good. more companies should do this.
  
  

down jacket so-so points:

• pockets like those are less useful than a kangaroo pocket, on lightweight down jackets
  
• doesn't come in any bright colours, which are useful if you are in remote locations and want to be seen. why would you buy a puffy jacket to try and look cool
  
• isn't synthetic insulation, which I believe is better for very minimal setups in european locations
  
  

down jacket bad points:

• unnecessarily expensive. why wouldn't you buy this sensational jacket instead. 2/3 the weight. much better pocket design. company that knows how to do this kind of clothing.
  
• they don't list the weight of down in the jacket, only the total jacket weight. so could be fuck all down in there, and heavier fabrics. so no idea of it's real warmth rating. stupid.
