A QUICK GUIDE TO INSULATION

13th October 2020 by


With temperatures starting to dip, we find ourselves reaching for that warm jacket to accompany us on our adventures.

With so many options from all of our brands it can be tricky to know which jacket is the one to reach for.

Down Vs. Synthetic

Last season we gave you the pros and cons of each. This season we are going to make it really simple.

Reach for the down jacket if you are heading to the hills on the coldest and crispest of mornings. I mean, in the Lake District you’re never guaranteed not to get wet, but if you are 99% sure, reach for down. Its warmth to weight ratio is almost unbeatable.

So synthetic then, ticks the box for the rest of the conditions that our British weather is going to throw at you. When it is cold and wet, Synthetic insulation will keep performing when a down jacket would fail.
