Down Workshop

WHAT IS INSULATION AND HOW DOES IT FUNCTION? WE USE TWO KINDS OF MATERIALS IN OUR GEAR TO INSULATE YOU FROM THE COLD: DOWN FROM DUCKS OR A FLOCK OF GEESE, AND SYNTHETIC (HUMAN-MADE) FIBERS.

• They both Slog in the equivalent way by conning air within their assemblies. The down or synthetic don’t actually keep you warm, it’s all about their ability to excellently trap air and keep it firm. You will find air acting as an insulator in all sorts of places. In the walls of your home, in your mattress, or even your on-the-go coffee cup. Insulated gear usually uses either down or synthetic insulation, although some products may use both of them in their assembly.

WHAT IS DOWN?

• Down is the soft layer of feathers closest to bird’s skin, primarily in the chest region. It basically is the light fluffy coating clustered beneath the feathers of waterfowl that helps to protect them and keep them warm through natural insulation. Down is a three dimensional cluster made up of fluffy filaments and contains no quill. If they are secured and warm in the damp condition, it will be warm enough for us aswell.

RESPONSIBLE DOWN STANDARDS (RDS)

Responsible down Standards (RDS) on ones own certifies down against animal welfare reuirements.

This is a KAEMP8848 committed style: In addition to meeting strict and third partyaudited sustainability and social responsibility standards more over KAEMP-8848

Only uses RDS certified down.

DOWN ASSEMBLE RATIO:

This is the total amount of feather and down mixed together which is present in your down insulated gear.

THE HIGHER THE PR0PORTION, THE MORE DOWN THE GEAR CARRY.

For the ducks down, we have a assemble ratio of 80:20 which basically means 20% of feathers are together with the down. But, for our goose items, the assemble ratio is 90:10 where minimum of down mass is 90%
