Backcountry.com Luft 800 Down Sweater - Men's
January 30, 2009
It close in the fact that it is down and the 800 fill. It is not as light and thin as the Patagonia down sweater. It is not as compressible either but is going to be warmer for sure. It actually compresses very well. I stuck it in the bottom of my compression sack with my sleeping bag and it fit just fine.I've got the Zeus and saw the Luft at the Backcountry store. They are very different jackets. The Luft is absolutely stuffed with 800 fill in a baffled design making it incredibly warm. The Zeus has a lot less of the 800 fill down with slightly lighter shell material in a sewn-through design making it very light (under a pound...about 14 ounces) and more compressible but not as warm. Both are incredible jackets designed for different purposes.

The North Face Zot Windstopper Jacket - Men's
September 10, 2008
Yes...for the most part. The Zot is essentially a hood-less version of the Cipher but they are still just a little different. The Zot has Windstopper in the front, on top of the arms, and along the upper back areas and Apex Aerobic fabric under the arms and throughout all of the mid and lower back. The Cipher is similar but includes sections of Windstopper in the mid and lower back.

The North Face Apex Elixir Jacket - Men's
September 9, 2008
I don't know if the fit would be ideal for cycling but the material would perform well. Apex Aerobic is very breathable, wind resistant, and quite stretchy.

No. The Elixir is made of Apex Aerobic which is more breathable but not windproof. The Bionic is made of Apex ClimateBlock which is less breathable but completely windproof.

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's
September 5, 2008
The Denali is thick heavyweight fleece so it's super-warm but not windproof. This is a completely windproof softshell jacket with a fleece lining. It's not as warm but protects better against wind and rain.
