Temescalborz Down Jacket - Men's

The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is a certification that ensures the down used in our products comes from ducks and geese that are treated humanely. This means the down is sourced from birds that have not been live-plucked or force-fed. Choosing RDS-certified products allows you to make ethical choices and support humane treatment of animals while enjoying high-quality insulation in your clothing.

PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) means that your jacket is treated to repel water without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This eco-friendly treatment helps keep you dry in light rain or snow while being better for the environment. By choosing PFC-free options, you contribute to reducing harmful chemicals in our ecosystems.

The 20D Nylon Ripstop fabric is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The "20D" indicates a thinner fabric, which helps keep the jacket light, while the ripstop technique prevents tearing and ripping. This combination ensures that you can enjoy comfort and mobility without sacrificing durability during your adventures.

650-fill down refers to the quality and insulating power of the down used in the jacket. The "fill power" measures the loftiness of the down; a higher number means better insulation. With 650-fill down, you get excellent warmth without excessive weight, making it a great choice for staying cozy in colder conditions without feeling bulky.

Raglan sleeves are designed to extend in one piece to the collar, providing a wider range of motion in the shoulders. This style offers a more comfortable fit compared to traditional set-in sleeves, making it ideal for activities that require arm movement, such as hiking or casual wear. You'll appreciate the added comfort and flexibility when you're on the move.

Understanding features like RDS certification, PFC-free DWR, 20D Nylon Ripstop, 650-fill down, and raglan sleeves helps you make informed decisions. These elements not only enhance the jacket's performance, comfort, and durability but also align with ethical and environmental values. Investing in a jacket with these features means you're choosing quality and sustainability, ensuring you get the best value for your purchase.
