How does this jacket compare to the Patagonia Down Sweater or Marmot Zeus. Will it be as compressible or warmer? Thanks

It close in the fact that it is down and the 800 fill. It is not as light and thin as the Patagonia down sweater. It is not as compressible either but is going to be warmer for sure. It actually compresses very well. I stuck it in the bottom of my compression sack with my sleeping bag and it fit just fine.I've got the Zeus and saw the Luft at the Backcountry store. They are very different jackets. The Luft is absolutely stuffed with 800 fill in a baffled design making it incredibly warm. The Zeus has a lot less of the 800 fill down with slightly lighter shell material in a sewn-through design making it very light (under a pound...about 14 ounces) and more compressible but not as warm. Both are incredible jackets designed for different purposes.
