Adding a blend of synthetic down basically puts our down jackets "on steroids". TurboDown™ is our combination of both synthetic and natural down. If your jacket is not waterproof, the rain/snow will turn your natural down jacket into a heavy wet sack of feathers.
While natural down is great for warmth and compression, natural down can fall short when it becomes wet. Below are two examples of where you can find the down fill.
Yes! You can typically find the fill power on either the Details or Fabric section on our product pages. Down jackets do not perform well in wet conditions as the feather clump and do not trap heat. Weather conditions are another important factor to consider when purchasing a down jacket. On the other hand, our Bulo Point jacket has 700-fill but a hefty fill weight and other technology that add to it's warmth. While it has a high fill power, it has a lower fill weight. Considering Fill Weight and Fill Power together can give you a better sense of jacket warmth.Īn example of this is our Ghost Whisperer jacket, a jacket known for being incredibly lightweight and using high fill power down. When in search for the perfect jacket the Fill Weight of the jacket is also an important measurement. As the fill-power rating increases, so does the lifetime and warmth-to-weight ratio. This 'fluffiness' creates small air pockets that help retain heat.įill Power determines the quality of the down feathers used in the jacket. Down is amazing for heat retention, due to the round fluffy design of the feather. While most people think of the firm hard feathers from the top of birds, down is the soft fluffy underside. Down Fill Powerĭown are the feathers from the underside of a duck or goose. No matter where you live, or what your winter's like - we have the perfect jacket to help keep you warm and protected! While we have many options, there are several key features you'll want to pay attention to.
