Berghaus lists 0.620 kg (620 g), in the 600-799 g band, 20 g over the edge of the 450-599 g band. Its page gives no size, so this may not be the men's M weight.
In short
Good for
- Cold-weather everyday wear, commuting and travel (Berghaus lists the intended use as everyday, commuting and travel)
- Casual winter walks and cold camp evenings where weight isn't critical
- Damp, cold days where treated down is wanted over plain down
Strengths
- Hydrodown 650: water-repellent treated down, which Berghaus says keeps insulating when wet (no test published)
- Draught-proofing details: internal neck baffle, large front hood baffle, adjustable hem and elasticated cuffs
- Two-way front zip for venting
- Free Repairhaus repair service (you pay postage)
Weaknesses
- 620 g listed weight, in the 600-799 g band
- Warmth, damp performance and durability aren't scored: no independent test of this jacket found
- No packed size, fill weight or fill power test method published
- 20% of the fill is duck feather, and Berghaus lists the use as everyday rather than mountain
