Why choose a goose down winter jacket? Due to their superior insulating properties, they retain heat well in the extreme winter conditions. High altitude climbers and ice caps travelers stand by these winter jackets. What makes these winter jackets superior in insulation? High quality goose down fill is the contributor to providing the insulation. The fine feather meshwork or lattice allows pockets of warm air to be trapped. This warm air cocoons your entire body, allowing you to retain heat. The water repelling or hydrophobic feather properties draw moisture away from your body, leaving only warm air molecules to keep you warm.



Gettin' Down: Down Insulation
Contrary to popular belief, down insulation is not made of feathers. Instead, down is actually the fluffy undercoating of a bird's plumage (geese, ducks, and other waterfowl) and looks like interlocking wisps of dandelion fluff. Down works for you just like it works for the bird; it keeps you warm by trapping an abundance of body heat within its tiny clusters. And because it is also breathable, down allows unwanted moisture to escape.

Quick Guide to Down



  • Is warmer than synthetic insulation ounce for ounce. No manmade fiber matches down in its warmth-to-weight ratio.

  • Retains its shape and loft and, with proper care, can last a lifetime. No synthetic can beat down's longevity. Down holds up better over years of use.

  • Wicks body moisture and allows it to evaporate. Moisture wicking goes a long way in keeping you comfortable.

  • Is highly compressible and lightweight. Although synthetic insulation has come a long way, it doesn't hold a candle to down's ultra light weight and amazing compressibility. Down is the preferred choice for backpackers and everyday use who want to keep warm on a daily basis.



Facts about Fill Power



  • Down is rated according to fill power-meaning the number of cubic inches one ounce of down will occupy. For example, if one ounce of down takes up a volume of 650 cubic inches, it is given a 650 fill power rating.

  • Loft refers to the thickness of the insulating material in a sleeping bag or garment.

  • The quality of the down is directly related to its fill power rating. Thus, down warmth is a function of both fill power and the amount of fill in a sleeping bag or garment.

  • High quality down has a high fill power and is much loftier than down of a lower quality, requiring fewer ounces of down to create insulating warmth.

  • The higher the fill power, the better the down will insulate because there is less of a chance of "cold spots"-areas in the bag or garment where there is no down.

  • Today's higher-end manufacturers offer 600 to 750 fill power as their standard fill.



The Bottom Line



  • Down is Mother Nature's best insulator. It provides incredible warmth for minimal weight and is highly compressible and resilient; but it comes at a price.
