Stretchdown High-Hip Jacket - Women's

RDS-certified down means that the down insulation used in our products comes from ducks and geese that have been treated humanely, following the Responsible Down Standard. This certification ensures that the birds are not live-plucked or force-fed, giving you peace of mind that your purchase supports ethical sourcing.

Lofty down fill is designed to trap heat effectively while remaining lightweight. The fluffy, airy quality of down insulation allows it to provide excellent warmth without the heaviness of traditional materials, making it perfect for staying warm during outdoor activities without feeling weighed down.

A cinchable hem allows you to adjust the bottom of the jacket for a snug fit. By tightening the hem with a drawstring or elastic band, you can seal out cold air and drafts, which enhances warmth and comfort, especially in windy conditions.

Stretch construction involves using flexible materials that allow for greater movement and comfort. This feature is particularly beneficial for activities like hiking or climbing, as it enables you to move freely without feeling restricted, making your outdoor experience more enjoyable.

Zippered pockets provide secure storage for your essentials, such as keys, phones, or snacks. Unlike open pockets, zippered ones keep your items safe and prevent them from falling out while you're on the move, ensuring you can focus on your activities without worrying about losing your belongings.

Consider your intended activities and the weather conditions you'll be facing. If you need warmth without bulk, look for jackets with lofty down fill and RDS certification. For active pursuits, prioritize stretch construction and cinchable hems for comfort and adjustability. Zippered pockets are essential for keeping your items secure while you’re on the go.
