I have worn both Primaloft jackets and down jackets for years. The LLBean
jacket you list is only 60gm weight per yard, which is very very light
insulation, barely warmer than a 200 weight fleece .
The down jacket you listed is going to be much warmer, suitable for non
riding/camp activities,

But the Platrack has two additional straight supports to the front dropouts.
I've loaded a LOT more than 4.4 lbs on my Platracks. The limit is not what the
rack will carry but how much handling degradation I'm willing to tolerate.

I'm a layers man myself... wool and fleece underneath and a shell if

The two ways I run the platrack are:
With the slickersack, any thing and everything I can get into the bag

I'll add a third way, sometimes I tie on a Wald large basket. It can hold a

too much stuff both in weight and volume and never had the slighest bit of

I have a really similar primaloft jacket from REI, size L. It packs down to
