Great info thx for the upload. I just warrantied a Camosun Parka after 5 years of use because of some premature wear and a busted zipper. It was a great jacket and would of got another but it's been discontinued. Make sure you keep your original receipt for warranty purposes. They gave me the whole amount including tax back which was great. I have now taken your advice and purchased a Cermium hoodie and also a Alpha SV shell in Black 24k. There is not much stock @ the moment of new insulated waterproof jackets in black unfortunately so I went your recommend route waiting and delivery this week. Keep up the good work 👍

Very informative review. Is not having a zipper wind flap on the Arc’teryx Cerium a deal breaker? I would think so when wearing the jacket as an outer layer.
Thanks! I have only worn it as an outer layer and I have not noticed the wind getting through the zipper. At the point where wind may get through, you'd probably want to put a shell over it.
Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to find the Cerium jacket (no hood) in size L, color black. Arc’teryx is out of stock. Quick google search, I may have found a few reputable regional online stores that have it in stock. REI is supposed to get stock middle of January.
Unfortunately the Cerium LT is discontinued which is why it is only sold in the outlet. The 2022 Cerium is actually has more down and has a stronger nylon shell.
Cerium ‘22 descriiption literally states revised Cerium LT. So yes, the LT version, just better. And than the Cerium SV is now even warmer and better as well.
@@ainjuhl4509that’s factually untrue. If you actually compare the specs of the previous vs current revised jackets; the revised jackets are worse. It’s not just about fill, but the amount of fill. The new ones once calculated for amount is less

No problem. I can actually wear either XS or small, but the small just feels like I can wear 1 other layer under it for me personally. Hope you like the new cerium LT, I saw they updated a couple small things like the zipper pulls
One comment of fill power. My first really warm down jacket contained 23 ounces of 550 fill power down. It was made by the original Gerry Sportswear and was called the super sweater. I wonder how it would compare warmth wise to the current selection of down jackets and parkas on the market.
That's quite a bit of down weight with 23 ounces. It must have been fairly heavy to wear also. It sounds warmer than a fair amount of down jackets these days, though now most down jackets use 650 or 750 down fill, but less weight. It's hard to compare without exact details.
Depends on which versions you're comparing, but the 2 that I have, I find that with the SV I can personally stay super warm until about 0-15 degrees in just a base layer under it. The LT I can stay warm until about 30-40 degrees with just a base layer. I'd say it's not quite twice as warm, but the difference in down weight is significant.
Primaloft is synthetic. Most synthetic insulation breaks down after about 5-7 years depending on how heavily it's used. Down in comparison can last substantially longer if it's well maintained and will be slightly warmer overall if you're comparing a similar amount of insulation for each.
In comparison, the synthetic insulation jacket is probably cheaper. Wear it for however long it lasts. When it starts feeling not as warm, then switch to something that's down fill. Or return it if you still can, up to you.

The arcteryx outlets usually have some in stock, but not in great colors. They have an outlet section on their website too, try that also.
Only colors in stock are Stratus and Eden (yuck!). Black and Black Sapphire are out of stock. I’ll check out the outlet section of their website.

So is 850 goose down series good?
Yes, generally speaking. If it has 850 fill and has decent volume of down then it should be pretty warm.
@ thanks!

Usually they will update small things like the zippers or the stormhood.
@@FinancialFitness8 Awesome! Thanks for explaining and the advice.

How tall are you ?
5'8
@@FinancialFitness8 thank you for letting me know so fast, I was gonna get a size small but I’m 5’4 and going with the Xs
No problem. I can actually wear either XS or small, but the small just feels like I can wear 1 other layer under it for me personally. Hope you like the new cerium LT, I saw they updated a couple small things like the zipper pulls
What size did you go with?
I went with a small. The extra small was a bit short in length and didn't give me any room to move or layer inside the jacket.

@@FinancialFitness8 It weighed just over 3 lbs. It would be like wearing a RAB Asylum down jacket (without the hood) over a RAB Kinder Smock.
How much warmer is the SV compared to the LT?

Very well explained, great video.

What sizd u get? For cerium lt, Im stuck between medium and large, im 5'11 160 pounds but I like to layer and little loose
I got a small for myself. Try them on in a store and see which size works for you. You can probably go with either medium or large without an issue.
How do down compare to primoloft
Primaloft is synthetic. Most synthetic insulation breaks down after about 5-7 years depending on how heavily it's used. Down in comparison can last substantially longer if it's well maintained and will be slightly warmer overall if you're comparing a similar amount of insulation for each.
@@FinancialFitness8 wow didn't know that now I'm regretting buying this Ralph Lauren parka it's primoloft gold
In comparison, the synthetic insulation jacket is probably cheaper. Wear it for however long it lasts. When it starts feeling not as warm, then switch to something that's down fill. Or return it if you still can, up to you.
