Feathered Friends gear review: Volant down Jacket

Wildsnow just posted a review of a Feathered Friends down jacket. Pretty good review with the classic line:
Indeed, zipping up a jacket like the Volant can be like climbing into a warm bath.
That's exactly how I would describe it for many, many, many jackets that I've sampled while ski touring. As far as I'm concerned, a good down jacket is essential gear for the serious backcountry skier.
