The North Face Catalyst Summit Series Down Jacket - Women's
Frigid days in the backcountry call for The North Face Women's Catalyst Summit Series Down Jacket. This water-repellent down jacket compresses and stows in its left hand pocket for easy packing. When you wake up to a frost- or snow-covered base camp, zip on your Catalyst Down Jacket and pull up the insulated hood to get rid of the shivers. The North Face stuffed the Catalyst with toasty goodness—that is, 800-fill goose down—and surrounded it with downproof ripstop nylon for ruggedness. A durable water-repellent finish prevents light rain or snow from soaking the down. With a performance fit, you can layer this luxuriously warm jacket underneath a shell when the weather gets super wet and nasty. And you won't look like a marshmallow.
Bottom Line: Take the lightweight, compressible The North Face Catalyst Down Jacket with you for any icy-cold pursuits.

The higher the fill power the more insulating air pockets the down has and the better insulating ability. 800 downfill is very typical to be used in sub zero sleeping bags as well as non sub zero sleeping bags. The material on the outside also helps up the warmth of the coat.
Since this is just rip-stop nylon with water repellent. If it gets wet then the down insulation will not work as well.
I wore my 800 fill down coat in sub freezing levels this winter and it kept me warm. On those windy or wet cold days, I used a shell over it to help block any wind or water from getting in the down. The length on the jacket hits on the upper hips. So if you need something to keep your hips and butt warm, this won't do it.
Make sure when you wash this to get a down wash detergent, like "nikwax". Use a front loading washer and fluff it dry in the dryer and make sure it is dry all the way through so the feathers to do not stick together and destroy those pockets for insulation.
