The winter season offers exciting new pathways to explore, but the insulated jacket you wear can make or break your experience. What factors should you consider when making your choice? Here are some insights from Jenny Spiik, Material Developer on our Innovation Team.
1. Activity “First, consider your activity level and the nature of your activities—whether hiking, skiing, or running errands in town. This will influence your need for breathability and effective moisture management.”
2. Conditions “Next, assess the environmental conditions: whether you're in a cold and dry or cold and wet climate will impact your choice, along with humidity levels and moisture concerns.”
3. Weight and packability “Packability and weight are also crucial, especially for backpacking or travel. The weight of the jacket, in relation to the type of insulation, will determine how easy it is to carry on your trips. Understanding your intended use will help you identify which features are most important.”
4. Insulation preferences “Finally, think about your insulation preferences. Do you prefer synthetic insulation or natural materials? At Haglöfs, we offer jackets suitable for various activities, featuring both traceable natural down and recycled synthetic insulation options.”
