Natural down jacket

When enjoying outdoor adventures, staying dry and warm is essential. But while you can't guarantee the weather, waterproof men’s or women's down jackets will protect you from the elements. With a superb range of styles, waterproofing, and insulation options, a natural down jacket from Columbia Sportswear® will keep you warm, dry, comfortable, and stylish. Its remarkable insulation properties make it the ideal women's and men's coat for any season.

Whether you need a reliable jacket for hiking, coastal walks, or running errands, you can’t go wrong with high-quality down jackets from Columbia Sportswear®. They will protect you from the elements without weighing you down. And that’s not all. We have down jackets in a great choice of colours, lengths, and styles with features like adjustable cuffs, multiple pockets, and removable hoods.

Natural down insulation is made up of the fine layer of soft, fluffy feathers underneath birds' normal feathers, usually goose and duck. This material is renowned for its outstanding insulation abilities. When down is compressed, the fibres create small air pockets that are clustered together within the warm jacket to trap air and heat. As down jackets are typically very light, natural down gives them their impressive warmth without the bulk of other materials. In fact, the way down traps heat inside a jacket is similar to how duvets provide comfort and warmth. However, rather than be rated by tog, the warmth of a down jacket is typically measured by fill power.

The only drawback to a natural light down jacket is that it can lose warmth power when wet and can take a fairly long time to dry. To combat this, Columbia Sportswear® has waterproof down jackets with water-resistant coatings that prevent the insulation from getting wet. Alternatively, when you know there's going to be a lot of rain, switch to a synthetic down jacket. Synthetic insulation performs much better when wet and dries quicker than natural down.

Its exceptional insulation and lightweight design make women's and men's down jackets popular for cold weather. Here are just some of the benefits of natural down jackets:

Snow-covered hikes, snowboarding, and skiing might all be exciting activities during the winter. A natural goose feather down jacket has a fill power rating indicating the insulating properties of the down filling. The higher the fill power, the more effective the down filling is at trapping air and heat. A light-down jacket provides significant warmth without adding bulk. So, whether wearing a men's coat or a warm parka, natural down ensures you stay insulated even in freezing temperatures without feeling weighed down. Plus, choosing a jacket with a cotton outer shell provides even more comfort, softness, and breathability.

When you're pounding the trails or hitting the slopes, you're likely to build up a sweat. This is where down jackets truly excel. Their natural down insulation enables them to expel moisture and sweat effectively. The breathable design of down jackets means you don't have to worry about overheating during intense outdoor winter sports.

Many women’s jackets are extremely compressible and easy to fold down and store in your backpack. Feather down jackets can often be flattened down and stuffed into small pouches or a bag, making them ideal for travelling and backpacking. So even if you are hiking in unpredictable climates, you can take your winter jacket with you and stow it away when not in use.

At Columbia Sportswear®, we are committed to following Responsible Down Standard (RDS) guidelines to improve animal welfare in the down supply chain. This voluntary code of practice ensures that all the down we use in our clothing is responsibly sourced and that animal welfare standards are adhered to.

Down men’s jackets are wonderfully versatile and come in a variety of styles to reflect different outdoor activities and weather conditions. There’s a perfect jacket for your needs, from lightweight waterproof jackets for layering to an extreme cold jacket for combating harsh winters. Some popular types of down jacket include:

• Hooded Down Jacket provides a valuable extra layer of warmth and protection by insulating your head and neck from cold, wind, and moisture.
