Women's Down Jackets FAQs

What are women's down jackets made of?

Most people have heard of down insulation but don't really understand it fully. So what exactly is down? Simply put, it is the undercoat found beneath feathers - predominantly around the chest area - on fowl such as ducks and geese. A down cluster traps air within its barbs, providing thermally-efficient performance. This makes it an excellent fill for jackets, sleeping bags, and blankets or quilts designed for use in cold climates. The best down jacket for women adopts a combination of this down insulation with durable ripstop fabric for its outer shell, and a soft-to-touch inner lining. Together, these materials work perfectly to deliver a high-performance insulation jacket that is comfortable, protective and above all else, warm.

Women's down jackets vs women's puffer jackets: what's the difference?

A puffer jacket is a broad term used to describe quilted and insulated jackets in a range of styles and materials. Women's puffer jackets can be made with natural down insulation or feature synthetic fillings. Women's down jackets are a type of puffer jacket, where the type filling (down) is indicated in the name. Down jackets are prized for their high warmth-to-weight ratio, whereas synthetic puffer jackets can be heavier, bulkier and offer less warmth than their down-filled counterparts.

What outdoor activities are down jackets best for?

Down jackets are super versatile garments for the cooler weather. The best down jacket for women will provide insulation from cold weather but without the bulk and weight, thanks to the naturally thermal-regulating down fill that is highly compressible. This type of jacket keeps you warm and comfortable when the air is chilly or windy, but easily packs away in your bag or pack when you warm up. So if you're looking for a women's winter jacket that is versatile enough for hiking, camping, travelling or just getting about town, you should get your hands on a high-quality down jacket from Mountain Designs.
