Transcendent Down Parka - Women's

A Bluesign Approved product is certified to be made using environmentally friendly processes. This means that the materials used are safe for both the environment and the people involved in their production. By choosing Bluesign Approved items, you are supporting sustainable practices that reduce waste and harmful chemicals.

Fill power measures the loft or fluffiness of down insulation. A jacket with a fill power of 700+ is highly efficient at trapping heat while remaining lightweight. This means you can stay warm without the bulk, making it ideal for cold weather activities.

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard, which ensures that the down used in products comes from ducks and geese that are treated humanely. This certification guarantees that the down is sourced from farms adhering to strict animal welfare guidelines, so you can feel good about your purchase knowing it supports ethical practices.

Jackets made with recycled nylon are a more sustainable choice because they are produced from materials like old clothing or plastic waste. This helps reduce the demand for new plastic production and minimizes waste, making your purchase more environmentally friendly.

An insulated hood adds extra warmth around your head and neck, which is crucial in cold weather. Filled with insulation material, it helps trap heat and keeps you comfortable during winter conditions, ensuring that you stay warm from head to toe.

The combination of Bluesign Approved materials, high fill power insulation, RDS-certified down, recycled nylon, and an insulated hood all work together to create a jacket that is not only warm and lightweight but also environmentally responsible. These features ensure that you can enjoy outdoor activities comfortably, knowing you are making a positive impact on the planet.
