Cotton Down Jacket

"Responsible Collection" means that the materials used in this jacket are sourced in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. This includes using recycled or repurposed materials to minimize waste and reduce the overall impact on the planet, ensuring that your purchase supports sustainable practices.

"Recycled Down Insulation" is made from down feathers collected from used products like old jackets or bedding. Instead of discarding these items, the down is cleaned and repurposed, which helps reduce waste and the need for new materials. This insulation provides excellent warmth while being eco-friendly, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

"600-fill" refers to the fill power of the down insulation, which measures its loft or fluffiness. A higher fill power indicates better insulation properties. A 600-fill down jacket offers a good balance of warmth and weight, making it suitable for outdoor activities where you need to stay warm without being weighed down.

A "Fixed Hood" is permanently attached to the jacket, providing consistent coverage and protection from the elements. This design feature helps keep your head and neck warm, preventing heat loss and ensuring you stay comfortable during outdoor activities, even in windy or cold conditions.

The "Claimed Weight" indicates how much the jacket weighs as stated by the manufacturer. Knowing the weight is crucial for outdoor enthusiasts, as lighter jackets are often preferred for activities like hiking or backpacking. A lighter jacket can enhance comfort and endurance, allowing you to carry less weight on your adventures.

The combination of Responsible Collection, Recycled Down Insulation, and thoughtful design features like a Fixed Hood and 600-fill insulation not only enhances the jacket's performance but also aligns with sustainable practices. This means you’re investing in a high-quality product that keeps you warm while also being mindful of the environment, providing excellent value for your purchase.
