Eco friendly puffa/parka, does it exist?

[TheFurryMenace]

I don't spend much on clothes, but I really need a warm winter coat to see me through really cold weather. Ive looked online for coats but they either seem to contain synthetic microfibres/polyester or goose down. It seems I can choose whether to pollute with plastics or harm birds, neither of which I want to do.

Any suggestions of good coats would be welcome please.

Patagonia are an environmentally aware company.

I recall Tommy Hillfiger has a recycled coat, I recently posted in style and beauty as wanted a non down, fake fur hooded winter coat and quite a few people suggested various ethical brands...... but can’t find the thread now

This article has some good brands to check out

Thank you both for the links. The Patagonia is probably the best I can do at the moment, although its polyester which isnt great for the sea, I guess at least the materials are recycled.

Rab & Montane are on a par with Patagonia now following the allied down standard/recycling polyester.

Western Mountaineering use down that has been shed naturally rather than as a bi-product of the meat industry.

Paramo uses no flouro carbons in its ski wear but don’t tend to do puffer/baffled styles. They also tend to be more garish in colour/design imo.

Thanks for all the recommendations, I bought a Jack Wolfskin one in the end. Tried the Patagonia, but wasnt warm enough for what I want it for. The JW one is nearly 100% recyled materials, so at least that is better than buying something made from new fibers at least.

Just popping on to say that I also have a Jack Wolfskin recycled coat and it's great, v warm and v light.

Finisterre quality has really deteriorated in the last few years. Very disappointing. They’ve diluted a lot, both in terms of quality and ethics.
