Warm women's winter down jackets
First, let's define what a down jacket is, because in our country this word is often called any warm winter jacket .

If the label of your item is labeled "down" - then this is a real down jacket.

However, the lower the percentage of feathers - the warmer the down jacket is. Very warm women's down jackets have a feather / feather ratio of 80/20% and higher. Also very warm there are down jackets with modern heaters, such, for example, as tinsulate.

The more quality and warmth of down, the faster the thing takes its original form. The warmest down jackets in the world FP can not be below 550.
