Down-free jackets for women – warmth without down
Our down-free jackets are insulated with synthetic fill, such as Primaloft, instead of down. This gives light, packable warmth that keeps insulating even when the jacket gets damp – and no birds need to be plucked.

Are down-free jackets as warm as down jackets?
Modern synthetic insulation has a warmth-to-weight ratio similar to down, but keeps its warmth better when damp and dries faster. That makes it work well in a Nordic climate with wet snow and rain.
Should I choose a thin or a thick down-free jacket?
A thinner insulated jacket works as a mid-layer under a shell jacket when you are active. A thicker jacket or parka works as an outer layer on cold days when you move less.
