Worked as insulation layer for me.

Marmot Zeus Down Jacket - Men's

Marmot Zeus Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 4, 2009

I tested it under a shell with nice wool layers. Skiing at 17 degrees was too hot and had to take it off. When it got colder and windier and this jacket performed better than any other insulation layer I've used.

A previous commenter said that some baffles have little/no down. This is obviously by design to let heat out the underarms. The jacket is functional at sub zero temps with proper layering, you don't want it any hotter if you are going be active.

Arc'teryx Kappa AR Insulated Jacket - Men's

Arc'teryx Kappa AR Insulated Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 15, 2008

This jacket alone is great from 70 degrees to the high 40's. In the rain it stays warm if it gets wet and will keep you dry unless it is a downpour. In freezing temps works well with layers if you are active. It's heat levels are most similar to a fleece. It looks better, handles rain better, and is lighter than a fleece. It's not useful below 20.

I bought it as an insulation layer to put under my softshell when skiing. Most days it's great but when it gets supercold, it's like this layer isn't even there, so be aware of that. Although it is not as hot as I hoped I found myself wearing it every day walking around or driving or in the office as a sweater. It feels very comfortable even in warm temperatures.
