Must See: PAKAFILL Puffers and Parka By PAKA

Everyone loves a puffy jacket. They are practical, cozy and cute. Perfect for chilly hikes, mountain backpacking and outdoor layering in general. When we think puffy jackets and parkas, I think it's safe to say that most of us think of down. Feather filling. And that's why PAKA is doing something seriously awesome with their PAKAFILL puffy jackets and parka!

Some folks don't like down because they're allergic to it, or because of ethics issues or for their own personal reasons. Synthetic insulated jackets have been on the market for a very long time, but in general, they don't work as well as down insulated pieces. Until now. And it's super exciting!

PAKAFILL is the world's warmest ethical insulation in the world. Here is a little bit about it:

Warmer than any synthetically-insulated jacket currently on the marketplace 2.59 thermal CLO value (tested by IDFL Laboratory and Institute). Half the volume of down. Keeps you warm when wet (unlike down, which can be life-threatening if ti becomes saturated). Thermoregulates from freezing temperatures to high aerobic activity to keep you in a neutral comfort range.

PAKAFILL is also fully traceable, all the way back to the small farm in the Andes where it was sourced from. Which is why we LOVE PAKA here at Southwest Hikes. Ethics matter. They really do.
