Bring down the down

Ranked #996 - Men's Down Jackets

This sweater is a really good quality item but if it gets wet your gonna be pretty cold. I would honestly suggest buying a jacket that is made of primaloft or synthetic down just because you will stay warm even if you get wet.

True, but a lot of down jackets are being made with better fabrics and coatings that prevent loss of down and resist water. Knowing the conditions of when you are going to wear the jacket can determine which insulation is best for you. Also, you can wear a shell over the down jacket in a 3-layer system.
