Sorin Down Jacket

Arc'teryx · £1,600

A black hooded down jacket with a waterproof outer shell, shown from the front.

It’s good, but we think this is better: Arc'teryx Conduit Down Jacket, £700

Arc'teryx's own Conduit Down is £700 and carries a higher 1,000 fill power, so for most people it is the better buy: more warmth per pound, from the same maker. The Sorin's £1,600 buys a three-layer GORE-TEX Pro shell wrapped around the down, which earns its keep in sustained wet cold and does very little in a city. Start with the Conduit unless you already know you need the shell.
