Stretchdown Parka - Men's

RDS Certified Down stands for Responsible Down Standard, which ensures that the down used in our jackets comes from ducks and geese that are treated humanely. This certification guarantees that the birds are not live-plucked or force-fed, allowing you to make an ethical choice while staying warm and comfortable.

Fill weight refers to the amount of insulation material in the jacket. A higher fill weight, such as 750, indicates more down insulation, which means the jacket will provide greater warmth. If you’re looking for a jacket that can keep you cozy in cold weather, a higher fill weight is a key feature to consider.

Durable Stretch Doubleweave Fabric combines strength and flexibility, making it ideal for active wear. The durability ensures that the fabric can withstand wear and tear, while the stretch allows for greater mobility and comfort. This means you can move freely without sacrificing the jacket's longevity.

Hook-and-Loop Cuff Adjustments, commonly known as Velcro, allow you to customize the fit of the jacket's cuffs. By adjusting the cuffs, you can keep warmth in and cold air out, ensuring a snug fit that enhances your comfort during chilly weather.

A Dual-Drawcord Adjustable Hem features two separate cords at the bottom of the jacket that can be adjusted independently. This allows you to customize the fit of the hem, helping to trap heat inside the jacket and prevent cold air from entering. It’s a great feature for maintaining warmth and comfort in varying weather conditions.

Choosing a jacket with RDS Certified Down, high fill weight, Durable Stretch Doubleweave Fabric, Hook-and-Loop Cuff Adjustments, and a Dual-Drawcord Adjustable Hem ensures you get a product that is not only warm and comfortable but also ethically sourced and durable. These features work together to provide you with a high-quality jacket that meets your needs for both performance and ethical considerations.
