Down jackets, particularly cheaper ones, are sweat boxes.
@hats A few years back Jana bought an Arcteryx Atom SL top for ski touring (i.e lots of uphill in cold conditions) and it was a revelation. Fast forward a couple of years and we now have 8 Atoms and Fissions in the house, in the different weights.
If you're looking for an insulated top for high output activity, in our opinion it doesnt get better than this. 200 grams in size medium! Jana runs cold and finds that its ok for activities to a couple of degrees below freezing.
