Item #TNF4303 | 0 in Stock

What are the differences between Thunder jacket and TNF Diez?...

By Ranked #756 - Men's Down Jackets October 16, 2010

What are the differences between Thunder jacket and TNF Diez? Both are 800 fill power down jacket and same price. Thunder weighs about 100g heavier. Does that mean Thunder is more insulated and warmer?

I'm confused by your original statement which says the Thunder is about 100g heavier. I just read the weight for the Diez and http://www.backcountry.com/the-north-face-diez-down-jacket-mens says the Diez is 16.3oz (463g) and that the Thunder is 14.2oz (402g)

The primary difference is the face fabric. The Thunder uses a 20D Pertex Quantum while the Diez uses a 10D Pertex Syncro. This is where most of your difference in weight comes from. As far as warmth they are similar in warmth.
