SV is not the best choice to climb in, SL is. None of them fit the same which is problematic when you are trying to make a comparison. The wind and water protection of each garment is different which again effects how warm they are. And what is warmer when/where and what you will use under it. <br /><br />I have owned all four. I now own and use a Fisson SV (still my go to jacket every day here) and two Kappas. The Kappa is for cold dry conditions...just not the coldest conditions. I also am REALLY happy to have a insulated water proof SV Goretex jacket. Duelly because of the odd sizing, price and basically being fully water proof in and out (read great in REALLY cold conditions and low output physically..too wet other wise for me) seems to be the odd man out. Cost and the worry about durability keeps me out of the Fission SL. Hard not to think that way when you can buy the Kappa on sale most of the year and the Fission FL is almost always full price and hard to find.
