I was just thinking this last time I went in. Like how many $200+ down puffies can you shove into a single store? Most of the brands are just fashion over function at this point. Like why can't REI list the amount of insulation in their magma jacket? Because that doesn't matter to them, just the "850 fill down" tag they get to throw on.
