Stay warm and comfortable
Yes, choosing the right down jacket can be a little tricky. There’s a lot to choose from and many technical details to consider. In this guide, you’ll get practical tips on down blends, fill power, construction and the factors that affect insulation. This will make it easier to find a jacket that suits your needs and keeps you warm for many years to come.
A light down jacket is the most versatile option. It’s easy to pack, weighs little, and works as a standalone in mild weather or as a mid-layer under a shell in colder conditions.
Perfect for activities like hiking, skiing, or mountaineering — it won’t overheat you while moving, and it’s simple to put on or take off.
In short: Great if you want a light, flexible, and packable jacket all year round.
A thick down jacket is your best choice when the cold really sets in. Built for maximum warmth, it’s perfect for winter camping, long breaks outdoors, or Arctic conditions.
Most are made with box construction, which prevents cold spots and ensures even insulation. Many are windproof and water-repellent.
In short: The right option if you spend time in well-below-freezing temperatures and want comfort, protection, and durability.
Down ratio (e.g. 95/5): More down = lighter and warmer.
Fill power (cuin): Measures loft and insulation capacity.

Materials & finish:
A down jacket should not only keep you warm but also be made responsibly.
We use recycled down (Re:Down) or down certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS).
We reject live-plucking and force-feeding.
Certifications guarantee traceability and respect for animal welfare.
Choosing an RDS- or Re:Down-labeled jacket means making a responsible choice — for yourself, the animals, and the environment.
One with high down content, high fill power, and box construction.
Yes, depending on the model. Thicker jackets work alone, thinner ones fit best in a layering system.
Hang it loosely, avoid long-term compression.
It’s normal for some feathers to poke out. Push them back inside instead of pulling them out.
