It’s starting to get cold out there! Now is the time to start thinking about how you’re going to keep warm when the chill really sets in. Whether you simply want something to keep you cosy on your morning commute, or if you’re after a high performance jacket to battle the elements on a winter expedition, there are a number of things you should consider before investing in a new puffer jacket.
Down Insulation
What's the difference between Duck Down and Goose Down, and what does HyperDry mean?
- Duck Down - Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio at varying levels of performance.
- Goose Down - Gold standard for warmth-to-weight performance with superior durability.
- HyperDry - Fluorocarbon-free water resistant treatment keeps down dry for longer in wet weather, retains loft and dries faster than untreated down.
What is Fill Weight? Fill weight is the amount of down, in grams, in a jacket. It is the combination of fill weight and loft (down quality) that determines how warm a jacket will be.
What is a Loft Rating? Loft or ‘Fill Power’ is one measure of down quality (fluffiness). The loft number indicates the volume, in cubic inches, that a single ounce (28 grams) of down occupies. The higher the number, the more effective the insulation.
Why Down? Down performs best in cold & dry conditions. It has a superior warmth-to-weight ratio and is highly compressible and lightweight.
Synthetic Insulation
Unlike down, synthetic fill can retain its warmth when wet. PrimaLoft® combines ultra-fine synthetic fibres, and proprietary manufacturing and finishing techniques, to offer thermal efficiency that mimics the natural world. There are multiple varieties of PrimaLoft® detailed below.
- Gold - Made from recycled content. The go-to choice for protection in extreme conditions.
- Silver - Made from recycled content technology with a proprietary water-repellent treatment.
- Black - Made in different blends to balance the warmth and packability of lifestyle pieces.
- P.U.R.E™ - This unique manufacturing process, developed by PrimaLoft®, has transformed the manufacturing of synthetic insulation to drastically reduce the carbon emissions produced.
- ThermoPlume® - This game-changing fill turns synthetic fibres into silky plumes that resemble the warmth, softness, and compressibility of down.
Why Synthetic? Best for use in damp conditions as it retains 98% of insulating capability when wet. It is fast-drying, easy to care for and breathable.
