DWR is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It helps water bead up and roll off the material instead of soaking in, keeping you dry in light rain or snow. Choosing a jacket with non-PFC DWR means you're also making an environmentally friendly choice, as it avoids harmful chemicals.

600-fill down is a high-quality insulation option that provides excellent warmth without adding excessive weight. The "fill power" rating indicates how fluffy the down is; higher numbers mean better insulation. This makes 600-fill down a great choice for staying warm in cooler conditions while still being lightweight and comfortable.

Heatseeker Eco is an insulation material made from recycled materials, specifically post-consumer recycled polyester. It offers warmth while being environmentally friendly, making it a sustainable option for those who want to reduce their ecological footprint without sacrificing comfort.

Raglan sleeves are designed to extend in one piece to the collar, which allows for a greater range of motion in the shoulders. This design is particularly beneficial for athletic and casual wear, as it provides comfort and ease of movement, making it ideal for active lifestyles.

A two-way front zipper can be opened from both the top and the bottom, providing flexibility in how you wear the jacket. This feature allows for better ventilation and adjustment of fit, making it easier to stay comfortable in varying temperatures while keeping the jacket securely closed.

The combination of DWR treatment, 600-fill down insulation, Heatseeker Eco, raglan sleeves, and a two-way front zipper creates a jacket that is not only warm and comfortable but also functional and environmentally friendly. These features work together to ensure you stay dry, warm, and mobile, making it a smart choice for outdoor activities and everyday wear.
