Down Vs Synthetic Insulated Jackets
During winter and those chillier autumn/spring periods, we sometimes require a little more insulation than your waterproof jacket can grant, so a down jacket makes for an ideal winter coat that will get plenty of use.
Women's Down Jackets
Down jackets are versatile and packable while offering the highest warmth-to-weight ratio in the market, meaning you can experience a consistent body temperature while in the outdoors without feeling restricted.
Women's down jackets work great as an outer layer in the dry, however, if it begins to rain, a lightweight waterproof over the top will provide you with the same degree of warmth, and keep you dry all day.
Women's Synthetic Insulated Jackets
In synthetic fill jackets, human-made polyester strands imitate the air-trapping down filaments to create warm air pockets. These fibres are moisture-resistant and preserve their insulating qualities when wet. If you intend to wear your insulated jacket in wet conditions or when you're highly active, synthetic insulation is the most suitable option. They are also much easier to wash and dry.
Women's Synthetic & Down Mix Jackets
Less common and highly technical gear, mix jackets draw on down and synthetic fills' strengths to maximise functionality and weight savings.
Manufacturers will generally utilise synthetic fill in the jacket's shoulders and arms, and down in the core body area because synthetic fill maintains its insulating properties better than when compressed. Compression can happen around the shoulders if you are carrying a small daypack on your hike or walk. The use of down in the jacket's body means it stays highly packable and gives excellent warmth in the core.
Available in a variety of brands, colours, styles and sizes, many of the jackets featured utilise moisture management insulation to ensure you stay dry, while not being weighed down by heavy layers of fabrics. Reap the benefit of cool features such as soft elasticated cuffs, toggle hems, zipped handwarmer pockets and hoods to keep you nice and snug on your hikes.
