I purchased the Rothera after much research. Other jackets I considered were from Rab, Patagonia, North Face and Canada Goose. The Rothera seemed much more substantial than Patagonia, Rab, and NF and much more stylish and functional for action than Canada Goose (and for about 30-40% less). In the end, I couldn't be happier about my purchase. The Rothera is warm, fits great; I can move in it. It looks fabulous on. the pockets are cozy, the hood is substantial. The details are spot on. It may not pack down quite as small as an ultra-light puffer but that was not what I was after.
