Mate this was the best video I’ve seen on down vs synthetic and layering etc. I’ve got loads of info from this, I have both and never seem to get it right. I cycle and hike and always seem to get way too hot and sweaty after about an hour of either activity. That’s normally when I have the lightweight down jacket on. So I think synthetic is the way to go for cycling for sure. This was so informative and very easily understood. A huge thank you buddy for taking the time to do this. It’s been a huge help 😊
Very nice video. The information given makes a lot of sense. The static vs. active seems obvious. But it’s great that you pointed it out, because I haven’t really thought about it in those terms. Living on the west coast of Norway, where it’s a lot of humidity, almost every jacket I own is synthetic. However, when static, in camp, or in the tent, or not doing much, it’s nice to have light and warm puffy jacket. The other thing is that synthetic fibers don’t last forever. However, if you take good care of your down jacket, it can last for years and years. So I guess, if being an outdoorsy kind of person, it’s worth making the investment in both types of jackets. As you say, it depends on what you’re doing. I’ve always been skeptical when it comes to down, but maybe I should give it a go. ATB from Norway 🇳🇴

So glad you found it helpful!
Are wool jackets a thing? Wool is good in the wet I believe?
