Best Insulated Jackets: Overview
I only own Arc'teryx and Patagonia insulated jackets.
Below are the best insulated jackets in the market. Regardless of price.
As long as your expectations are in the right place, none of them will disappoint. They're all fantastic items.
It makes sense to cover the best uses of these jackets in 5 groups.
- Arc'teryx Nuclei (aka FL), Nuclei SV, Patagonia DAS, DAS Light: Stunning warmth at an instant and incredible wind resistance. Horrible breathability and abrasion resistance. These are all belay jackets. They're primarily meant to maintain your core temp when you stop moving. But I use it casually around town all the time - as long as my output is none to very, very low (not even power walks longer than 5 mins). Otherwise I sweat like a pig in them.

- Arc'teryx Proton Heavyweight and Atom Heavyweight (aka AR): Perfect picks for cold weather. I'd get the new Proton Heavyweight (breathes more, offers much more pockets, and more abrasion resistant). If you'd like to maximize warmth & wind resistance and can ditch everything else in return, then get an Atom Heavyweight.
- Arc'teryx Proton (aka LT), Atom (aka LT), Patagonia Nano Air: Absolutely the most versatile and popular picks. All are perfect for high output activities and casual use at the same time. Proton offers a bit more abrasion resistance. Atom offers a bit more breathability. Nano Air is the only packable one.

- Patagonia Nano Puff and Micro Puff: Perfect for 90% casual 10% active use. Preppy, classical family photo look. Packable, cozy and comfy.
- Arc'teryx Proton Lightweight (aka FL) and Atom SL (soon to be called Lightweight): Perfect for high output activities and casual use during chilly spring and summer mornings. Proton Lightweight offers a bit more abrasion resistance and one more pocket. Atom SL is more of an all rounder, offers a bit more breathability and is very slightly insulated, only in the body and nowhere else.

Face fabric isn't the only factor that determines things like wind resistance, breathability, abrasion resistance and durability. Stitching and general structure is equally as important.
However, everything else being equal, Fortius Air would be the most air permeable (breathable) of all these. Besides that it's difficult to make general definitive judgments.
