Down jacket – a reliable choice for Nordic frosts

Down is a unique natural material. Fluffy down traps a lot of warm air, compresses easily when needed, and a down-filled winter jacket is a favorite piece of clothing for many outdoor enthusiasts.

A durable choice

A down jacket will last for years of use – and in our selection, you’ll also find down detergents and proofing agents that make maintenance effortless. Durability also comes from responsible down production. RDS-certified down is not collected from live birds, it is fully traceable to individual farms, and farms are regularly audited.

A compact jacket or a sturdier parka?

For autumn and winter hikers, the essentials include a lightweight, packable down jacket or a heavier down coat. Packable models have light outer and lining fabrics, making them easy to carry in a backpack, side bag, pack, or pulk. Parka-style jackets, on the other hand, are made with durable, heavy outer fabrics suited for demanding use – even for dog sledding adventures.

Waterproof down jacket for special conditions

Sometimes you need the insulation of down but also protection from rain or sleet. In those cases, choose a waterproof down jacket – it keeps you protected from the elements.

A long down jacket for extra protection

A long down jacket isn’t just stylish: the longer hem provides warmth to important areas. By covering your thighs and hips, you’ll stay warm even in biting cold!

Light down jacket for hiking and sporty everyday wear

Lightweight down jackets are extremely popular – and for good reason: barely noticeable when worn, they provide more warmth than even the thickest fleece and offer added wind protection. A light down jacket is perfect for hiking breaks, winter exercise, or as part of your sporty everyday winter outfit.

How to choose a down jacket:

• Consider how cold the conditions will be where you’ll use it. The lightest down jackets are roughly as warm as a thick fleece, while the warmest are used on polar expeditions.
• Packable or sturdy and durable? If you need abrasion resistance, choose a parka-style down jacket. If pack size matters most, go for a lightweight, packable model.
• Which brand suits you best? Joutsen down jackets are designed in Finland and use exceptionally clean down. Fjällräven down jackets suit both outdoor and everyday use. RAB down jackets are an excellent choice for hikers, climbers, and freeriders. Columbia offers great value for money and their jackets are perfect for everyday wear. Houdini is always a stylish and technical choice. Haglöfs is the Nordic go-to brand for hiking and outdoor adventures. Jack Wolfskin clothing combines subtle style with consistent quality.
• Which Fill Power? Fill power describes the loftiness of down. It indicates how much volume one ounce of down can fill. The finest and fluffiest down requires a lightweight outer fabric to function properly, but it also offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio.
