Also, down is more compressible and longer lasting...

Fill power: 500
Down: 54% (90% of 60%)
Feather: 6% (10% of 60%)
Synthetic fill: 40%
The above line has been the source of confusion - I was posting from mobile while on move, so couldn't quote links - reposting now, hoping this clarifies:
Could someone confirm if the (650 fill power) Eddie Bauer puffer jacket deal* ($40 for Puffer jacket w/o hood @ Edddie Bauer, expired now & $40 (in-store) / $53 (online) for Puffer jacket with Hood @ Costco) had 100% down fill, unlike this one?
That (EB) seems to be made of way better quality (based on specs), albeit at higher price.

Shell and lining is lightweight woven with a soft and smooth texture. Insulation fill is mix of 60% Down (90/10 down-feather ratio) and 40% Cloudfill (synthetic down polyester), which rates at least 500 fill power. Down is certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) by Control Union (cert# 846365)
Fill power: 500
Down: 54% (90% of 60%)
Feather: 6% (10% of 60%)
Synthetic fill: 40%
Fill power: 500
But,
Down: 54%
Feather: 6%
Synthetic fill: 40%

Usually larger jackets like these don't keep me warm, but I just wanted this because its 32.
At $25, it wasn't a hard get.
When I received the jacket, I didn't wear it. It just sat there for a few days.
I finally put it on before walking outside to grab the mail.
Since then, I wore it every single time I am at home and have to leave for quick bits.
It's super light. A bit warm if I moved around too fast.
I haven't washed it yet, so cant comment on how it's gonna stand up to wear/tear.
Probably my favorite jacket at the moment.
After I re-read what I posted it occurred to me that this stuff in definitely not the North face Nano tube puff balls, it's just basic puffed plastic so it's probably not as good as the EB deal, especially since EB gives (gave?) lifetime warranties on all jackets
To this day I wish they would sell $30-35 Gerry down jackets at Costco, I got many a uses out of that thing with minimal shedding.

Not true. A co-worker and I debated this. Down has the best warmth per weight ratio - period. Only when you factor in other things like dampness / sustainability does primaloft and synthetics start winning. Just google down vs synthetics and multiple sites support this fact.

For majority of folks, they'll have no idea what you're talking about. But I do and that's all the matters 😚
I don't have this specific down jacket from 32 but the one from costco that seems to be a hybrid of this. It keeps me warm 😊
