Frequently Asked Questions
What fill power should a good puffer have?
Look for 550-fill or higher. The spreadsheet may list this in the notes. Lower fill power jackets are flatter and less warm.
Are technical shell jackets waterproof?
Most replicas use water-resistant coatings rather than full waterproof membranes. Check the spreadsheet for material ratings before expecting Gore-Tex-level performance.
