RDS-certified down means that the down insulation used in the product 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 practices.

The 700-fill rating indicates a high level of loftiness and insulation efficiency. Jackets with 700-fill down are lightweight yet provide excellent warmth by trapping heat effectively. This means you can stay warm without the bulk, making it ideal for outdoor activities or everyday wear.

Stretchdown is a fabric technology that combines stretchable materials with down insulation. This allows the jacket to move with your body, providing greater freedom of movement while still keeping you warm. It’s perfect for active pursuits like hiking or skiing, where flexibility is key.

Doubleweave fabric is made by weaving two layers of material together, which enhances durability and warmth. This construction technique makes the jacket stronger and more flexible, ensuring it can withstand outdoor activities while keeping you comfortable in various weather conditions.

Baffle construction involves sewing the fabric into compartments to hold the insulation in place. This design prevents the insulation from shifting, ensuring even warmth distribution throughout the jacket. It helps maintain the jacket's shape and effectiveness, so you stay warm and cozy in cold conditions.

Absolutely! Jackets featuring Stretchdown technology are designed for versatility. They provide the warmth you need for outdoor activities while allowing for comfortable movement, making them suitable for both casual wear and more active pursuits like hiking or skiing.
