i know its only a jacket but probably best going in a trying it on.
some are pretty heavy jackets and bit harder to move about in were as some are super light and just like a tracksuit top to wear but are just as warm.tbh all the jackets there will be pretty good.
the rab ones are decent too.

I bought a Berghaus goose down gillet last year and it's falling apart!
Very disappointed as I have a load of the fleeces and they last forever.
I'll be buying North Face this year!

Most down (puffa type) jackets are only shower proof, not fully water proof. You will need something with a goretex type shell if you need it to be good in wet weather. I have a North Face Nuptse 700 which is very warm, but no good when its peeing down. Rab are very good, and my next down jacket will be one of theirs.

I have one of these Schoeffel jackets.
Great right down to -25. and waterproof too.
Can be a bit expensive though.

Im a bit of an gear freak when it comes to the outdoors and i would'nt pick north face ot berhaus tbh, Infact the only north face stuff i have is there terra 60 rucksack and there Venture waterproof trousers
These are so many better options then those two, mountain equipment are good but they charge a fucking fortune
Most of my gear is made by a company called "Rab", i use there latok alpine jacket and its the best iv used so far, i also use there photon hoddie witch it think is the best jacket iv used to date for insulation, and also if u use it in your sleeping bag it brings the rating down another 6 degrees

Dont get a down jacket unless its waterproof as well
This is well thought as being one of the best jackets for cold conditions in the world (within reason) and is used on everest ect ect

best jacket ever, thoroughly recommend them above anything, as mentioned already, you can just wear fleece, or shell, or both together, wind and waterproof quality stuff!!
