Down jackets are typically warmer due to their superior insulation properties, but parkas provide more coverage and are better suited for extremely cold conditions.
Consider factors like fill power (higher numbers mean better warmth-to-weight ratio), fill weight, intended use (lightweight for hiking or heavyweight for extreme cold), and water resistance.
Thickness depends on intended use: lightweight jackets (150–350g) are ideal for layering or mild conditions, while heavyweight jackets (500g+) provide maximum warmth for extreme cold.
Standard down jackets lose insulation when wet, but hydrophobic-treated or waterproof down jackets like the Rab Valiance retain warmth in damp conditions.
