Last winter I went on a quest to replace my Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket with an artificial fill jacket. I ended up owning brand new versions of both the Patagonia Micro Puff and Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex Jackets (almost by accident) so I got to compare them side by side.
This video is extracted from my Twin Lakes Desolation Wilderness 2019 backpacking video. If you've already seen that, you've seen this.
IMO, the better jacket was obvious and it might surprise you.
Both of these jackets were purchased by me and I get no favors from either company.
