Questions and answers
- Which is warmer for a cold winter?
- The Jackson Glacier. Its 700-fill recycled down and thigh-length waterproof shell hold heat far better than the Aspen Love's down alternative fill and hip-length cut.
- Is the Aspen Love waterproof?
- No. It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish on ripstop fabric, so it sheds light rain but soaks through in steady rain. The Jackson Glacier is waterproof.
- Is the Jackson Glacier worth the extra money?
- If you face rain, wind and freezing temperatures, yes. It costs $519 at Backcountry.com versus $248 for the Aspen Love at Alo Yoga as of November 3, 2026, but it is a waterproof down parka rather than a fashion puffer.
- Which fits better over a bulky sweater?
- The Aspen Love. Its oversized, puffy cut leaves room for layers. The Jackson Glacier has a trim regular fit that reviewers say does not allow much layering underneath.
- Which is lighter to wear all day?
- The Aspen Love. The Jackson Glacier weighs 1168 g, which is heavy for a jacket, while the Aspen Love is a lighter hip-length puffer.
- Does the Jackson Glacier have a removable hood?
- No. Its hood is insulated and fixed, with hidden drawcords. The Aspen Love's hood comes off.
