Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Men's NH500 Waterproof Winter Jacket: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating composition, Synthetic fill microplastic shedding and Coating degradation and leachables from synthetic lining on the Allbirds and not on the Quechua.
• We flag Fluorinated DWR coating (PFAS-class), Formaldehyde resins in finishing processes, Azo dyes in darker colorways and Antimony in polyester fiber on the Quechua and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Quechua is polyester shell with durable water repellent (DWR) coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Allbirds is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Quechua grade, at 42% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
