RDS-Certified Down

                                                    

You have our sincere commitment that NEBO jackets are manufactured at an RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified facility. All of the down feathers applied in our down jackets are from reliable RDS-compliant sources. RDS guarantees that the waterfowl like ducks and geese are subjected to a humane treatment that is cruelty-free, with no live plucking or force-feeding. 

 

900+ Down Fill Power

                                                     

Down/feature ratio of our jackets is 90 to 10 as opposed to more common 70/30 and 80/20. The more down is in the jacket, the warmer it is.
The fill power rating can range from 300 to 900 and above. The most common down products have a rating of 400 to 500. Our jackets have 900 fill power which means a jacket of this caliber will be both warmer and more comfortable.

Waterproof

                                                      

Tested under a pouring rain condition (in the shower - literally!) the shell fabric can be safely called waterproof. Our jackets have 5000 mm waterproof rating. The higher a jacket’s waterproof rating, the longer the fabric will remain waterproof.

This is where it fits in the waterproof department:

Windproof

                                                      

A wind-resistant down jacket prevents heat loss from air convection. Windproof ratings are often measured in the amount of cubic feet per minute (CFM) or metres squared per second (m²/sec) of about a 30-mile-per-hour wind that can pass through one square measurement of the material. As such, a lower number show that the garment is more effective when it comes to blocking wind. At a wind speed of 30 miles per hour, our fabric is penetrated by 1 cfm of air. 


Windproof Rating Summary Details/Condition
60 CFM Not Very Windproof About as windproof as a cheap fleece
20 CFM Somewhat Windproof As windproof as a good running top
10 – 5 CFM Moderately Windproof About as windproof as a standard soft shell top or jacket – very wind-resistant
1 CFM Windproof Not much wind is getting through the garment at all
0 CFM / m²/sec Completely windproof The garment will completely protect you from the wind. 100% windproof
