You know when you want to buy a Down Jacket; and when it is time to buy one, you are clear that you can compromise on none of the goodies you would want to have from it. Look at the men's Down Jacket market.

Now, how can you tell a goose down jacket? For one, quality shows allover the product and not in bits and pieces. Its low weight-warmth character uses 700-fill-power goose clusters and the loft retention is superior. Check the quilted body panels, drawcord hem, and the concealed zipper hand warmer & interior pockets complete with non-snag zipper flaps. The inner lining is supple for maximum skin comfort and don't forget to check the polyester knitted neck lining.

Take a trial; wear it to see whether it feels comfortable, before you buy. Zip-up till neck; see how the neck fits; the zipper must sound like a sword when pulled out of its holster. The hand warmer pockets must not show bulk in the front even with your hands in.
