Stretchdown Long Parka - Women's

RDS-certified stands for Responsible Down Standard, which ensures that the down used in our jackets comes from ducks and geese that are treated humanely. This certification guarantees that the birds are not force-fed or live-plucked, promoting ethical sourcing. Choosing RDS-certified products means you’re supporting animal welfare while enjoying high-quality insulation.

700-fill down is a high-quality insulation material that provides excellent warmth without adding extra weight. The fill power measures how much space one ounce of down occupies; the higher the number, the fluffier and warmer the down. Jackets with 700-fill down are ideal for cold weather, offering superior insulation for outdoor activities.

Doubleweave nylon fabric combines two different types of yarns, resulting in a material that is both stretchy and strong. This construction enhances flexibility and durability, making it perfect for active wear. You’ll enjoy a comfortable fit that allows for a full range of motion while also being resistant to wear and tear.

Baffles are the compartments in jackets that hold insulation, like down feathers, in place. They help distribute the insulation evenly, preventing cold spots and ensuring consistent warmth throughout the jacket. Our unique baffle design allows for more stretch and mobility, making it easier to move while staying warm.

A two-way zipper can be opened from both the top and the bottom, providing greater versatility in how you wear the jacket. This feature allows for better ventilation and ease of movement, especially when sitting or bending. It’s perfect for layering and adjusting your comfort level in varying temperatures.

Choosing a jacket with RDS-certified down, 700-fill insulation, doubleweave nylon fabric, baffles, and a two-way zipper means you’re investing in a high-quality, ethical, and functional product. These features work together to provide warmth, comfort, and durability, making it an excellent choice for outdoor activities and everyday wear.
