Regarding my question on how much down: 750 is the down fill power, which is the down quality, not the amount. How much down (quantity) is in the jacket? This is measured by weight--either grams or ounces.

No prob, Jamie. You're kind of right--higher down fill number means better insulation, because it's fluffier. But the amount of down, by weight, is a good way to compare items of similar fill power. There are other factors that will impact warmth--like how it is quilted, baffle design, etc.

Sorry, I always understood the higher the amount, the more the insulation, but guess I amnwring there. Apologies.
