After 12 years with my old GoLite Demaree Canyon, it's time for a new down jacket (with a hood this time).

My local REl doesn't have that many models in stock for me to check out in person so l'm having to rely on the internet, which makes it hard to confirm information.

One of the things l've liked about my Demaree Canyon is that the pockets and collar are lined with micro fleece, and it feels so much nicer for me against the skin than nylon lining (I realize some people don't like it). I can't seem to find whether the jackets l'm checking out have something similar or if they're all nylon lining these days.

I had narrowed down my choices to • Rab Electron Pro • Rab Microlight Alpine • North Face Summit Breithorn

but am open to others. Of the few models my REI had, I only found one that had soft pockets (a brand I’m not familiar with - Stio) but it was pretty heavy.

Are lined pockets not a thing anymore? It can’t just be weight bc the Demaree Canyon is lighter than the three above.
