Some people swear by down fill for their jackets and sleeping bags/quilts (better durability, better warmth:weight ratio).
Personally, I think you have to consider it all in context. Making choices is not as dogmatic as you think it has to be, and if you ever read dogma like "Why you should always select a down jacket over a synthetic" or "Why synthetic jackets are bad for the environment" or other silly clickbait titles, be wary.
That's why we are keenly interested in helping you make wise choices by giving you information - so you can make the decisions that are best for you.
Today we published the final 6 of 16 in Max Neale's review series on synthetic insulated jackets. Next week, we'll publish his comprehensive State of the Market Report which will compare them all to each other in detail.
Here's an index of all 16 reviews published over the past 3 weeks:today is the last day for the Unlimited Membership Promo:
