Down vs. Synthetic Ski Jackets – Is There One Right Choice?

Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: Mannie Flenderson

There have been many articles written on the pros and cons of down versus synthetic ski jackets. Much of the debate centers on if a person is allergic to down, and they are looking for insulation alternatives. Another line of reasoning is that down takes longer to dry when wet, but that is only one consideration. It's enlightening to think that the down versus synthetic discussion actually isn't an either or proposition. It's actually a starting point that one can use to make an informed decision when choosing a ski jacket.
There are a number of things to take into account when deciding between down and synthetic ski jackets. Many people own both. The reason for this is that no single jacket will be the perfect outerwear for every activity. Highest quality down costs more and no manmade material can beat nature's down when it comes to insulation. It's entirely sufficient to use synthetic insulation jackets for the average camping trip or family outing, which is a cost-effective way to go. Down has many advantages, too, like its longevity and its high warmth to weight ratio.
There are a few disadvantages to each material that need to be examined as well. Synthetic jackets can't top down for warmth. Synthetic insulation is heavier too, so if one is performing activities in the jacket for long periods of time, which can potentially add to fatigue. Down needs special cleaning care and it takes longer to dry out when wet. These disadvantages lead one to a crucial part in the decision-making process: Where and under what conditions will the down or synthetic jackets be worn?
Some outdoor enthusiasts know that they will be spending considerable time in foggy, misty and rainy conditions. Therefore they are hesitant to go with only down jackets; not wishing to deal with down when it is wet. Many of these people rely solely on synthetic jackets. Others see the benefits of having both types of jackets at their disposal and wear one that they prefer for the weather on the particular day they go out.
Once one decides on buying a down or synthetic jacket (or both), the next step is to find a good retailer. Like with other purchases, one can do some online down jacket research and then go to local stores and actually try on the jackets. Depending on one's confidence in sizing down jackets for men and women, and how quickly the jacket is needed, buying online can be a very satisfactory option. Many outerwear websites today offer high resolution photography of their jackets along with configurable images that allow a person to view the jackets in multiple colors. Zoom capabilities are usually built into the product images so one can zoom in on the photos to examine particular parts of the jackets' design.
Whether one needs a ski jacket for extended or casual wear, the down versus synthetic jacket debate can teach a person a lot about the benefits of each insulation material. It isn't a matter of choosing one best material, because one material doesn't perform perfectly in all conditions and during all activities. The decision mostly revolves around material performance under specific conditions, personal preference and cost. It is telling that many professional outdoors men and women own both types of jackets so they are prepared for whatever nature has in store.
