Fanes Sarner/Rdsdwn Hybrid Jacket - Men's

RDS Certified means that the down insulation in your jacket comes from ducks that have been treated humanely. This certification ensures that the ducks are not live-plucked or force-fed and are raised in good conditions. By choosing an RDS Certified jacket, you can feel confident that your purchase supports ethical sourcing practices.

DWR Treatment, or Durable Water Repellent, is a special coating applied to the fabric of your jacket. This treatment causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, keeping you dry during rain or snow. It’s an essential feature for outdoor activities, ensuring you stay comfortable in wet conditions.

Body Mapping Technology is a design approach that strategically places different materials in a jacket based on how your body moves and where it needs warmth or breathability. This means you get optimal comfort and performance, with warmer insulation in colder areas and breathable fabrics where you generate heat, making your outdoor experience more enjoyable.

Ergonomic sleeves and shoulders are designed to fit the human body comfortably, allowing for a full range of motion. This is particularly important for activities like hiking or climbing, where you need to move your arms freely. A jacket with ergonomic design helps prevent restrictions, enhancing your overall comfort and performance.

Fill weight refers to the amount of insulation, specifically duck down, used in your jacket, measured in grams. A higher fill weight, such as 750, indicates better insulation and warmth without adding bulk. This means that jackets with higher fill weights are more suitable for colder conditions, keeping you warm and comfortable during your outdoor adventures.

To determine if a jacket is suitable for your activities, consider features like RDS Certification for ethical sourcing, DWR Treatment for water resistance, Body Mapping Technology for comfort, ergonomic design for mobility, and fill weight for warmth. Assessing these features will help you choose a jacket that meets your specific needs for outdoor performance.
