The Jack Wolfskin Nebelhorn down hoody: the ethical winter warmer

 

As the UK is catapulted towards the depths of winter, the thoughts of BCH Camping customers turn to staying warm on frosty mornings and seasonal hikes.

Our advice is often sought when choosing winter jackets as it can be tricky knowing which is best with so many different brands and styles available. Many of our customers are now also keen to choose fabrics and technology that are kinder to the environment and ethically sourced.

For dry, cold days we usually recommend a down jacket as these are designed for snowy or cold conditions. The Jack Wolfskin Nebelhorn down hoody for women is fast becoming the go-to choice of down jacket for the ethically discerning customer.

The Jack Wolfskin Nebelhorn down hoody for women The Jack Wolfskin Nebelhorn down hoody for women is not only an ultra-warm jacket with ethical and environmental features (we’ll come onto those in a moment), it also brings the retro vibe! Its retro slate green colouring and large baffle stitching give the Nebelhorn hoody a bodywarmer look.

This popular down jacket’s outer shell is made from Pertex Quantum which is recycled polyamide (the environmental bit). It is windproof and water repellent. The TEXASHIELD PRO Ripstop face fabric also blocks wind, resists light precipitation and sheds snow and ice. For ethical buyers, the Jack Wolfskin Nebelhorn down hoody for women is filled with 700 fill ALLIED feather down which is included in ALLIED’s TrackMyDown scheme. This traceability system reveals the origin of the down so that buyers know if it has been responsibly sourced. Of the scheme, ALLIED says: “With TrackMyDown you now have the power to better understand all the nuances of down and make a more-informed decision based on the performance and sustainability of the exact insulation inside the product”.

The down provides all the loft and insulation needed for cold, snowy days, making the Nebelhorn hoody the ideal jacket for winter hikes.
