By Ranked #2938 - Women's Down Jackets March 4, 2009

on the website,it's written that this is a combination of down and Prima 1 :"Constructed for instant warmth and compression our windproof, water-resistant, hooded down jacket protects when belaying in the cold. Compact insulation ispossible via high fill power of the finest quality filtered down. Face fabric/liner made of recycled material. Fabric: Aero™10 / 93% Down / Primaloft® One™ Weight: 740g (M) (300g down / 100g Primaloft® One™)"is it true?if yes, this is the only jacket I know which used the both insulation. I'm looking for a similar jacket for a long time to be secure in any conditions.there were the north face optimus http://www.trailspace.com/gear/the-north-face/prism-optimus-jacket/, but it's separate, hood had P1 and body and arm the downI come from France, sorry for my english!!

This jacket (Falketind) is all down, and does not have any PrimaLoft. The Lyngen Down Jacket (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Norr%F8na-Lyngen-Down-750-Jacket-Womens/NRA0121M.html) is mostly down, with PrimaLoft along the sides to reduce bulk and insulate more effectively. (The idea is that down along the sides gets compressed by your arms and is not as warm as PrimaLoft when compressed.) As a side note, this jacket runs very big in my personal opinion. I wear jackets from most brands in a medium, and sometimes a small. This jacket in small is pretty big on me, way bigger than any other small has been on me.
