Don’t let the $400 normal price fool you. This jacket is often available for half of that if not less. I got one a couple years ago for around $200 from sport chek and it wasn’t final sale.
I bought this jacket back in March of 2020 for $112, which is probably the ATL. The jacket does fit larger, so it makes sense to go down in size. The jacket is extremely warm, but I did find the jacket a bit too short for me as I'm 6’4.

After getting the $150 Woods parka down filled jacket with 600 down fill, I am just not down for paying more for less (550 goose down fill).
Two members said the Woods was very thin and had very little down, so this jacket might have more quantity of down (weight). Goose down should also be warmer than Woods if they use duck unless the geese are very young and the ducks happen to be older.
A member in that thread already explained to you how fill power isn't everything and weight is also important, did you not read his post?

Yes I saw those posts and we didn't have the same experience. The parkas are nice and weighted, maybe if you want to compare, you could buy both and take out the down to see which has more... or maybe just weigh the jackets, but that wouldn't be as objective...
But I will concede that TNF's warranty is very good and I even got a gift card from them after my 6 year old venture 1 rain jacket was delaminated inside... so they didn't attempt to repair or replace, so I'll use TNF gift card for another product.
Had the Gen 2 Gotham years and years ago. This was probably the most well-known version. But It's a boxy, clumsy, ill-fitting wind tunnel. Yeah it was heavy duty and could probably last 50 years, but it just didn't perform. Never trusting TNF with a winter jacket. TLH is also a crappy business model, with lukewarm sales on reject colours and all the risk.
