How's the material quality of this jacket compared to The North Face Destiny Down Jacket, except the wind resistance difference? Are those two jackets made with the same "down"? Just there're so many down jackets out there with very big price range....always wondering about the quality of each "down" used...Besides, which one is longer - Destiny or this one? Thanks!

They've both got great material quality. The Helicity is obviously going to be warmer especially in extremely windy conditions. You'll notice a fairly big difference with this jacket being 700 fill and the Destiny being 600 fill. They use the same down in both though. All of my TNF down jackets are great! I really love them, well they're not my favorite but they're really nice. My wife's favorite is her backcountry.com Luft 800 Down Sweater which is 800 fill down. You can't go wrong with TNF though. They use great stuff. Also, the Helicity is just a couple, well 2 or 3 inches longer than the Destiny jacket.Hope that helps.
