Conduit Down Jacket
Arc'teryx · £700
Worth being NRY provisional
The Conduit is filled with 1,000 fill power goose down, which is about as good as down gets and is rare at any price, let alone £700. Arc'teryx put it under a Pertex Diamond Fuse face fabric at 43gsm, so the weight goes into warmth rather than into a shell you may not need. It is not waterproof, which is the trade you are making and the reason it costs less than half what their hard-shell down jacket does.
