Can you measure the difference between Down and Synthetic materials (Primaloft, Quallofil, etc.)?

Question

I am looking to shop for a new winter jacket and I noticed how some jackets are insulated with 100g of Primaloft. Would this be compared to a 550 fill down Jacket, or more?

Also, what is the difference between 100g of Primaloft insulation vs. 200g of Quallofil insulation. I read that Primaloft is better than Quallofil, but given that the jacket is insulated with twice the amount of quallofil, does that make it warmer? Thanks.

That give a s good overview...but not a specific chart with synthetic fill rating to down fill rating.

From my experience selling the stuff in the past, I can tell you Primaloft 100 is the lowest as 550 Down is also the lowest. However, I have a Primaloft 200 vest and find it much warmer than my 700 Down vest.

I think it quite ironic that when people complain about others "not believing" in God, there is a much bigger issue they seem to totally ignore. 1) Even IF we assume that the existence of the material universe somehow "proves" God's existence, this STILL does NOT prove that OUR CONCEPT of God is proven -- ONLY that SOME manner of a "creator" exist. 2) Just WHY does this "God" have to conform to OUR concept of God? This STILL does NOT prove that this "creator/God" even cares about us. OR that OUR understanding or concept of God is the correct one. In fact it is quite doubtful. 3) I contend further NO TWO people believe in the SAME God. This is because NO TWO people can possibly conceptualize God in the same way. 4) Heck -- look at all the various forms of Christianity in existence. All contending that THEY are the ones -- and the ONLY ones -- who actually are the "True" Christians. And not only do all these different sects of Christians have a DIFFERENT concept of God -- and adamantly tell others that the other person is WRONG --, but even those people from any given specific denomination (or brand of Christianity) MUST necessarily have DIFFERENT concepts of God from each other merely because no two people can actually think alike. And this does not even address the issue of differing beliefs by radically differing belief systems. ======================================... The major problems I have with "believers" is NOT that they believe, but that BECAUSE of their "beliefs" they all too often bring so much unnecessary pain and suffering into this world. They all too often want others to 'respect" their beliefs but adamantly refuse to give this same "respect" to others of differing beliefs. They all too often believe that they have the "right" to enforce their particular brand of religious code on all other people. And worse -- can never possibly entertain the idea that they might be wrong. Believe what you want, but do NOT use this belief to hurt others. Do not use this belief to curtail justice. Do not use this belief to assume moral superiority. Do not use this belief to give you an excuse to condemn others merely because they believe differently. Truth MUST NOT be contradictory. IF you believe in a God of LOVE, then that God MUST be a God of LOVE, and not a capricious God who would send someone to hell for trite or irrational reasons. IF you believe in a JUST God, then that God MUST be just. And what He expects of us MUST BE JUST. And we MUST be totally capable of understanding that justice. In order to love correctly, we MUST understand truth correctly. Truth is NOT gained by blindly following a "religious" book. All too often this merely gives people the excuse to validate all manner of bigotries and injustices. Our understanding of ANY truth MUST be internally non-contradictory. Our understanding of any truth MUST necessarily stand the test of empirical evidentiary reality. IF what we believe brings harm to another we MUST reevaluate what we believe. What we believe MUST be ALWAYS open to doubt. Without entertaining a healthy measure of doubt, all our beliefs must then BE IN doubt. ======================================... And the truly SCARY people out ther are those who can give a reply like this one: "If your perception of God doesn't line up with scripture, you're not following the right God." WOW! The total irrationality of that statement makes me quake in fear. THESE people who can make such a statement and actually "believe" what they are saying are truly frightening. Historically, THIS is exactly the type of person who has been capable of all manner of irrational condemnation of others. THIS is historically the kind of person who has brought untold harm and destruction into this world. THIS is the kind of person who today can opt to destroy others and not have a single clue that they are doing so.
