Mythic Alpine Down Jacket - Women's

Pertex Quantum is a lightweight and durable fabric known for its strength and weather resistance. It is essential for outdoor gear because it protects against wind and moisture while remaining lightweight, making it perfect for activities like climbing and hiking. Choosing gear made with Pertex Quantum ensures you stay comfortable and protected in various weather conditions.

900-fill European goose down is one of the highest quality insulation materials available. The "900-fill" rating indicates exceptional loft and warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning it provides superior insulation without adding bulk. This makes it ideal for cold weather activities, as it keeps you warm while being lightweight and compressible for easy packing.

RDS-certified means that the down used in your jacket is sourced from geese that are treated humanely and ethically. This certification ensures that the down is not obtained through harmful practices like live-plucking. By choosing RDS-certified products, you can feel good about your purchase, knowing that it supports responsible sourcing and animal welfare.

Nikwax treatment provides a water-repellent finish to down insulation, helping it resist moisture without using harmful chemicals (FC-free). This treatment is crucial because it keeps the down fluffy and warm, even in wet conditions. With Nikwax-treated insulation, you can enjoy outdoor activities without worrying about your gear losing its insulating properties in damp weather.

Stitch-through baffles are compartments created by sewing the fabric together, which hold the insulation in place. This design helps distribute the insulation evenly, preventing cold spots and ensuring consistent warmth throughout the jacket. By choosing jackets with stitch-through baffles, you can be confident that you’ll stay warm and comfortable during your outdoor adventures.

Products featuring Pertex Quantum fabric, 900-fill European goose down, RDS certification, Nikwax treatment, and stitch-through baffles are designed to provide optimal performance in outdoor conditions. They offer lightweight warmth, ethical sourcing, moisture resistance, and effective insulation distribution. Investing in gear with these features ensures you have reliable, high-quality equipment that enhances your outdoor experience.
