In depth: Recycled Down

Our Fulu, Tived, Stockholm and Järpen down jackets are made of 100% recycled down, emphasizing circularity and sustainability. Using recycled down promotes a circular economy and reduces the fashion industry's environmental impact.

Why Down?

  • Warmth-to-Weight Ratio: Superior to synthetic insulation.
  • Lightweight: Easier to carry and pack.
  • High Comfort: Soft and warm.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Higher warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Very packable
  • High comfort

Cons:

  • Loses insulation when wet
  • Long drying time
  • More expensive than synthetic insulation

What is Fill Power/CUIN?

  • Definition: Measures down’s ability to loft and trap heat.
  • CUIN: Cubic inches per ounce; higher CUIN means higher loft and less down needed for the same warmth.
  • Comparison: Premium goose down can reach 900 CUIN; duck down up to 750-800 CUIN.
  • Example: A -5°C sleeping bag with 700-fill-power down is lighter than one with 600-fill-power down, assuming similar fabrics and features.

Recycled Down

  • Usage: All down jackets in Fulu, Tived, Stockholm and Järpen concepts use recycled down with CUIN 650+.
  • Sources: Collected from China, Vietnam, and Europe, from used products like jackets and duvets.
  • Process: Recycled down undergoes the same cleaning and classification as non-recycled down.
