Any jacket marketed as Down must have the feeling of Down every time you wear it. The Down “feeling” is perhaps best characterized by its softness, fluffiness, and its ability to be compressed when not in use – then expand to its original shape and size without loss of softness. A jacket made with synthetic fill as a Down alternative will be obvious, even when touching or squeezing the other material because it feels tougher and is less fluffy and flexible. Both Down and Synthetic fill materials have their advantages.\r
