Why Should I Buy Down-Insulated Jackets?

Insulated layers are important in many climbing and hillwalking situations to protect ourselves from the often very harsh environment of cold weather. Through over a hundred years of mountaineering, the same principles of keeping warm have been used: windproofing, staying dry and trapping still air. Although insulated clothing has changed immensely in recent times, the principles remain the same.

How to Look After Down Jackets

Down jackets will last a long time if it is cared for properly: Here are some tips:

• Avoid getting down wet. If it does get wet, try to manually break up any lumps that form and dry the down as soon as you can.
• Don't pull protruding feathers from your down gear: any holes in the outer fabric will get bigger and make it more likely that more down will escape.
• Store your down gear uncompressed. Laboratory tests have shown that compression of down over a long period detrimentally affects its performance.
• Down is not impossible to wash, just be careful. Always check the label and if you are not sure, consult a professional cleaner.
• When your down gear seems to have lost its loft, try tumble drying it (if the garment label allows). Adding a soft object such as a tennis ball can aid loft recovery.

About Down Insulation

Down is the name given to the under-feathers of waterfowl. Geese, ducks, swans and many other birds possess down. In most cases down is harvested as a by-product of the meat industry, which is one reason why goose and duck down are more often found than down from other birds.

Down is an amazing material: it has been estimated that there are 70,000 filaments in a typical gram of down, making it occupy a huge volume. Down's insulating performance is incredible: good quality down is thought to be warmer than any fibrous synthetic insulation weight-for-weight, as well as more compressible, with better compression recovery and a longer lifespan.
