I'm a fan of Fjall Raven. A down jacket has to be practical and unpretentious.

Do you think the Neutrino is fine for daily commuting in the city in the winter, it seems like it's for climbing. Around here we take the train so I don't want to pass out on my way to where I'm going.

This coat was featured in the latest Men's Ex, which I thought is the perfect down coat to wear over a suit:

Thanks. It has served me well for years. It's one of the few RTW things I bought at full MSRP.

I'd go with a Canada Goose Expedition. It's worth the extra cost.

+1 however the OP is looking for a down jacket and Arc'teryx really isn't in that market. They make some softshells that resemble down however.

Very nice jacket. I wouldn't hesitate to wear it over a suit on a bitterly cold day in these parts.

LL Bean coats are a very good deal. If that's what you can afford, go for it.

Canada Goose coats are much more expensive but worth every penny. The warmth is unbeatable.
