Gotham Down Jacket - Women's

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that helps them resist water. This means that if you're caught in light rain or snow, the jacket will shed moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable. It's especially beneficial for outdoor activities in winter, ensuring you stay protected from the elements.

A jacket with 550-fill Goose Down insulation offers a great balance of warmth and weight. The fill number indicates the loftiness of the down; a higher number means better insulation. With 550-fill, you can expect good warmth without the bulk, making it ideal for cold weather while still being lightweight enough for easy movement.

The Box Baffle Design is a construction method that keeps insulation evenly distributed throughout the jacket. By sewing the fabric into compartments, it prevents the down from shifting and eliminates cold spots. This design ensures that you stay warm and cozy, as the insulation remains in place where it’s needed most.

Stretchy Paneling allows for greater flexibility and movement, making the jacket more comfortable during active pursuits. Whether you're hiking, skiing, or just moving around, these stretchy sections provide ease of motion, ensuring that you can perform without feeling restricted.

A Removable Hood gives you the option to customize your jacket based on the weather or your personal style. You can detach the hood when it's not needed, allowing for a different look or reducing bulk. This feature is perfect for adapting to changing conditions, whether you want extra coverage or a more streamlined appearance.

The combination of water resistance, warmth, flexibility, and customizable coverage makes them ideal for outdoor activities in cold and wet environments.
