Feathered Friends review

Feathered Friends is the pick for buyers who care most about the down itself. The Khumbu Expedition Down Parka uses 900+ fill power goose down certified to the Responsible Down Standard, and the brand publishes a fill weight of 13.3 oz (378 g) in size Medium, which is the number that tells you how warm a down coat is. The whole parka averages 960 g. The shell is a 20d recycled Pertex Shield laminate with a PFC-free water repellent finish, and a double layer of PrimaLoft Gold insulates the collar, where breath condenses. You get a dual zipper with an insulated draft tube, a fixed hood with two-way adjustment, side zip hand pockets and two large interior mesh pockets. Each parka is made in Seattle and finished after the order comes in. At $789 it costs well under half the Canada Goose Expedition. If you need more, the Rock & Ice parka at $1,019 carries 613 g of down.
