How warm is this jacket compared to the 700 fill down of NP Nuptse? I tried the Nuptse on and it was way too bulky for my taste, but the transit was perfect. BUT if the transit is a lot less warm, I want to know before I purchase!

Hi Kayra - The Transit is not going to be as warm as The Nuptse jacket, but that is not to say that the Transit is not warm- it is still going to keep most folks warm in all but the coldest conditions. I got a Transit for my mom that lives in Park City Utah - and she stays really warm in a pretty cold winter climate- Hope this helps
