I know Down is generally warmer, but would the Alcove Jacket be pretty close to this in terms of warmth?

John W. The Alcove Jacket is made with 200grams of Primaloft PL One which is really warm. As far as R-value or insulative value is concerned... warmth would be really similar between two exact jackets made exactly the same way - one with down and one with Primaloft. The difference would be in the overall weight. The Primaloft version would be a little heavier than the Down version. Hope this info helps!
