Fjällräven Expedition Long Down Parka vs MAGCOMSEN Men's Winter Ski Jacket

The Fjällräven Expedition Long Down Parka is the serious cold-weather coat: 700 CUIN down with synthetic fill, offset quilting to stop cold spots, a waterproof 2-layer shell and RDS-certified down. The MAGCOMSEN is a budget fleece-lined ski jacket with a waterproof polyester shell and four pockets, but no real down and no stated fill power. Buy the Fjällräven for deep winter, hiking and skiing in real cold; buy the MAGCOMSEN for mild winters, shoveling and casual wear on a tight budget.

• Choose the Fjällräven Expedition Long Down Parka if you face genuine sub-freezing winters and want down warmth, a long loose cut and a hood that holds up in wind.
• Choose the MAGCOMSEN if you want a simple waterproof, fleece-lined hooded jacket for light cold and don't need down insulation.
