Long Bear Hooded Down Coat - Women's

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This treatment makes the fabric water-resistant, allowing light rain or snow to bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. This means you can stay dry and comfortable during unexpected weather, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

Laminate nylon is a specially treated fabric that combines nylon with a waterproof and breathable barrier. This construction ensures that you stay dry from external moisture while allowing sweat to escape, making it perfect for outdoor wear in various weather conditions.

Down insulation is made from the soft feathers found under the outer feathers of ducks and geese. It is incredibly warm and lightweight, trapping heat effectively without adding bulk. This makes it an excellent choice for jackets designed for cold weather, ensuring you stay cozy without feeling weighed down.

Mid-thigh length indicates that the jacket falls around the mid-thigh area of the wearer. This length provides extra coverage compared to shorter jackets, helping to keep your core warm and protected from cold winds, making it a great option for chilly conditions.

Venting features, such as a full-length front zipper and short side zippers, allow for better airflow and temperature regulation. This means that if you start to feel too warm during activities, you can easily release excess heat, keeping you comfortable without having to remove the jacket.

While down insulation is excellent for warmth, it can lose its insulating properties when wet. However, if the jacket has a DWR treatment and laminate nylon, it will provide some water resistance, helping to keep you dry in light rain. For heavy rain, consider a jacket with synthetic insulation, which performs better when wet.
