For Ultralight nerds, Down Jackets to weight/warmth ratio

[Lamont]

I thought I would share this, I know a few of us here like to check the RUL and see what's going on and have seen this already.
A Dutch bloke created this a while back- worth a look if you haven't seen it. Interactive. I think the max jacket weight for inclusion was about 350gms or so.

In sodding ounces though.

Thanks for posting that - very useful.

Check out the Nunatuk Shaka pullover!

No worries.
Skaha (ha ha )...and the Cumulus Primelite (Toray Airtastic outer shell) I suggested you have a squiz at.
Even the Decathlon jobbies get quite a look in.

Have you happened to come across any Ali Express down product that is worth a mention ?

That's pretty cool. Makes me want GooseFeet Gear Hoodless Jacket to replace the Macpac Uber...

Interesting list but his measure of warmth is very simplistic - fill weight x fill power. Plenty of other factors that could and should be considered. Useful to search for RIchard Nisley's posts on bpl.

No Macpac Arrowsmith pullover?

Pete the limit was for the jacket to be no more than the 350 gms total as in the first post or close to -the Macpac is over isn't it? Also it rated higher if the down was in the highest or near highest down fill rating-I think their down may be not of the EN 800 as well? Three season type thing I suppose? Not my list though. I just remember the discussion around the list and comments by the maker.

I think anything that got close to half of that in jacket weight up to the 350 gms in at least 800 (Euro/EN rating) scored very well
People will make up their own minds about what's what and I'm not knowledgeable enough to debate it-but that was the starting point which is really useful I reckon.
The indexes are adjustable though which is useful -you can rank the item by what you believe to be most important trait from memory.
I do know of someone who bought the Malochowski-says it is a flamer. The Primelite is a cooker as well for very little weight.
I think you should get the Skaha Pete and test it for us!
Although I wonder if there may be an oZzie doing that already...

I think I'll be murdered if I buy another down jacket.....

Yeah the Arrowsmith pullover is 370g with 170g 700 fill power.
