Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Men's Cloudchaser 3L 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 Outdoor Research.
• We flag Fluorocarbon DWR coating (PFAS family), Polyester fiber shedding and microplastics and DWR coating off-gassing during storage or wear on the Outdoor Research and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Outdoor Research is 3-layer polyester 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.
• We are less certain about the Outdoor Research grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
