I have worn both Primaloft jackets and down jackets for years. The LLBean jacket you list is only 60gm weight per yard, which is very very light insulation, barely warmer than a 200 weight fleece . The down jacket you listed is going to be much warmer, suitable for non riding/camp activities, which is what I assume you are wanting it for .
Primaloft does lose loft from frequent compression, down of course, does not. Down lasts as long as you care for it. Water repellent is not a big thing at camp as I assume you have shelter ! I own both down and Primaloft jackets, when I want the most warm for the least amount of weight and space, down is THE way :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
