What is a down jacket?
A men's down jacket is a jacket made of a lightweight material, often in a channel or square design, which is filled with either duck or goose down. The design can be reminiscent in many ways of how a down duvet is made, one difference however is that the size of the channels must match the amount of down so that they do not sink to the bottom of the down jacket.
What different types of down jackets are there?
Consider how much weight will matter to you, this will both affect the price of the jacket, but also how light you will pack on your trip. The lighter the down jacket, the higher the price will often be, because finer down retains heat better and is also lighter, which makes the jacket more expensive. Some down jackets have many pockets for small items, such as extra gear, food or necessities, this will also make the jacket heavier, as more zippers create more weight.
Men's lightweight down jacket
Down jackets such as Lapland down jacket and camino down jacket are lightweight down jackets that only weigh 310 grams, this means that you get an ultralight down jacket for women that you almost don't feel like you're wearing.
Winter down jacket
Some down jackets also have more filling, and although the down is finer and lighter, the amount of filling means that you get a warm down jacket for women, which is a good winter down jacket for men . This does not mean that you do not get a light down jacket for women, winter down jackets can still be light and warm at the same time.

Men's down jackets are generally used as everyday jackets in a big way, so if you are looking for a women's down jacket that is suitable for everyday challenges, this can also be found at Arctic Outdoor, as we have many years of experience with down and insulation.
Maintaining your down jacket
When you have a high-quality down jacket, it is important to take care of it. This involves frequent washing and drying of the jacket.

When the jacket has been washed with outdoor detergent , the jacket should be dried thoroughly in a dryer with three tennis balls or a clean rubber shoe to restore the down to its fullness. It is important when washing a down jacket to make sure that the jacket is completely dry before use.
