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.

I personally like two way zippers a lot. I wish more jackets had it. I mainly use it for comfort reason when sitting down, driving or cycling. I also use it to dump excess heat on the go, by keeping the upper half of the jacket zipped only.
However, some people don't like two way zippers. Because compared to standard one way zippers, a two way zipper is more likely to break down in the long term. I didn't experience any of these problems though. Maybe because I only own Arc'teryx and Patagonia. High quality brands.
I love stuff sacks, too. I'd always sacrifice a few tens of dollars and a bit of weight savings in return. I wish Atom and Proton like had them. Especially the lightweight models.
Pit ventilation is a weird one. It usually shouldn't be one of the features that takes place in here. Because almost no insulated jackets are equipped with it. Indeed, as you see, only the Atom line feature them.
Atom line still does not feature pit zips. That's still exclusive to shells. What Atom line provides is side fleece panels.
The lighter the Atom jacket (going from left to right in the image), the bigger these panels become. View them both externally and internally for Atom and Atom Lightweight.
These give the Atom line a serious edge when you crave more breathability. With the only exception being the Atom Heavyweight. Because its side fleece panels don't only come with a small area (only around the armpit, see image), but they're also less air permeable.
