Jackson Glacier Jacket - Women's

DWR is a special treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the material instead of soaking in. This is especially beneficial for outdoor clothing, as it helps keep you dry during light rain or snow, enhancing your comfort and performance in wet conditions.

The 700-fill rating indicates the quality of the down insulation used in the jacket. A higher fill power means that the down is more effective at trapping heat while being lightweight. This allows you to stay warm without the bulk, making it ideal for cold weather gear where mobility and warmth are essential.

Fair Trade Certified Sewing ensures that the workers involved in the production of the product are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions. By choosing products with this certification, you support ethical manufacturing practices and contribute to better livelihoods for workers in the supply chain.

A bluesign-approved product meets strict environmental and safety standards throughout its textile production process. This certification ensures that harmful substances are minimized, and resources are used responsibly, making it a more sustainable choice for consumers who care about the environment.

Bonded Baffles are a construction technique that creates sealed compartments for insulation without stitching. This design prevents cold air from entering and keeps the insulation evenly distributed, enhancing warmth while reducing the overall weight of the jacket. This means you get better insulation and comfort without added bulk.

Choosing products with both DWR coating and 700-fill down insulation provides a combination of water resistance and superior warmth. The DWR coating keeps you dry in wet conditions, while the high-quality down insulation ensures you stay warm without feeling weighed down. This combination is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable performance in varying weather conditions.
