Parveen, its not as insulating or lofty, but a bit warmer due to the windstopper. It is not as packable or light as the Redpoint though

I have the TNF Deception jacket now and believe I have tried the Redpoint as well, but have never owned it. Dave's reasons listed above are right on. The jacket is very light and also surprisingly warm. I live in Minnesota and the Windstopper is great to have in January/February when wind chills are high. It's listed as a ski jacket but I've never tried it for that. Have been mostly wearing it around town with a variety of base layers and have been very satisfied by the warmth and weight. The snow skirt is a good feature but it makes the fit pretty tight across the stomach for some reason. The way the hood tightens would be perfect if you're wearing a helmet, but as for everyday use, it's not ideal. The hood fit (when tightened) would be my only real complaint. Otherwise, great jacket.

I've had both, and here is why I like the Deception the best: -waterproof zip has an updated look -longer length -snow skirt -all of these and Windstopper for $50 I think the jackets are pretty close in terms of durability. The Redpoint's one advantage is probably using a ripstop face fabric where the Deception does not. All things considered I like the cut, looks, and feature set of the Deception better.
