Parkas Guide Section 5 - Construction A
Responsible Goose Down The world’s best insulator. Geese produce larger down clusters than ducks, resulting in loftier, longer-lasting down that keeps you warmer and feels luxurious. Our goose down is certified to the Responsible Down Standard.
Parkas Guide Section 5 - Construction B
Fill Power Fill power is a measure of down loft. The higher the fill power, the more warmth it delivers per square inch. Our down is at least 700+ fill power, meaning it delivers superior warmth with less weight.
The Care Winters feel long but your parkas should last longer. Here are some tips to help with that.
Section 6 - The Care
  • 1 Always check your parka’s care label for style-specific wash and care instructions.
  • 2 To best restore loft, add two clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer.
  • 3 Make sure your parkas are completely dry before storing.
  • 4 To maintain loft, avoid compressing your parkas for long periods. Store them by hanging in a ventilated closet or a large cloth or mesh bag.
