Down jackets are insulated garments filled with the soft undercoating of duck or goose feathers, known as down clusters. These clusters trap and retain body heat, creating countless air pockets that form a natural barrier against the cold.

Lightweight, warm, durable and highly packable, these jackets are a game-changer in extreme conditions & winters. Whether you’re hiking, camping, or braving the cold, this versatile gear guarantees comfort and readiness for any adventure.

Invented by George Finch in 1922, an Australian chemist and mountaineer, down jackets have been gaining popularity over the years. The insulating versatility of down continues to be more efficient than its counterparts to date.

Today down jackets have refined variants catering to various winter sports & climatic conditions ranging from everyday use to scaling high-altitude peaks.

Given the extensive tech, science, and research behind high-performance down jackets, it’s crucial to scrutinize specifications before purchasing a down jacket.
