My most effective winter jacket is a Showers Pass raincoat with no insulation. It has incredible ventilation as well as wind and water resistance. I add layers underneath for greater warmth and insulation. For me, a down jacket would be a total fail for riding -- no water resistance or ventilation. They are great for hanging around, walking, skiing and other activities that don't generate a lot of heat and sweat but not highly aerobic ones.
