The men's version of this jacket says it's intended for mountaineering, winter backpacking, BC skiing and the like, and this women's version says it's for casual use. Is that just marketing, or does this jacket really not give the same performance as the men's version?

I am not sure why the 'intended uses' of the two jackets are different. Definitely take the 'intended use' with a grain of salt in that you can use it for whatever you like. They have the same insulation, were made with the same quality, and were positioned in our sales books in similar places. So, yes, the fabrics are slightly different but the intended use of the piece is the same. Hope this helps!
