Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Arc teryx Beta SL Jacket Men's: 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 Arc'teryx.
• We flag PFAS in DWR coating, Nylon synthetic degradation and microfiber shedding, DWR coating leaching during care and Thermal degradation from heat drying on the Arc'teryx and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Arc'teryx is Nylon fabric with DWR durable water repellent 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.
