If you live anywhere near the Canadian border, you know that the geese that used to head south in the winter now just stay put. Apparently cold and slush doesn't bother them anymore. And like the geese, you won't need to use frequent flier miles in the dead of winter with The North Face's Men's Thunder Down Jacket.
Down is known for its warmth, and the Thunder features 800-fill — the highest quality and count available. What sets this jacket apart from other 800-fill jackets is that the feathers themselves were given a waterproof treatment. Even if you're caught in slush and drizzle, this prevents the down from clumping into wet wads. Dry down improves the jacket's insulating performance. As an insulating layer, this jacket provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio, so you can fight off the cold without breaking your back mile after mile. The entire jackets fits into its own hand pocket to keep on hand as an emergency layer. It's finished with two secure-zip hand pockets, elastic binding at cuffs, and a cinch cord at the hem.
Sizes: M-2XL.
Colors: TNF Black, High Rise Grey, Warm Olive Green.

Positive Reviews:
I got to say, TNF has one of the best quality down jackets ever made. I also own a Marmot down jacket that is comparable to this one; however, I must say that TNF's thunder jacket is really soft,extremely warm and very well made. I bought a size small, being only 5'7" tall and about 155 lbs. I've had this jacket for under a year, and it has seen moderate to cold temperatures (20-30's Deg. F). I highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a high quality and warm winter jacket.

Not as warm as my Nuptese 2
I'm wondering if the 800 fill in the Thunder does not rate the same way as the 700 fill of the Nuptese 2.
Looks like I'll keep using my Nuptese 2 and relegate the Thunder to it's stow pocket and keep it in the trunk of my car as a emergency backup of limited use. As a passing note I also currently own 2 Denali fleece, 1 Denali wind pro fleece, 1 Original Nuptese, 1 Himalayan jacket.
