Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Men's Gravity Insulated Ski 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 Helly Hansen.
• We flag Fluorochemical DWR finish (PFAS family pending confirmation), Azo dyes in colored panels, Synthetic microfiber shedding during washing and Coating degradation and chemical volatilization over time on the Helly Hansen and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Helly Hansen is Polyester/nylon with DWR water-repellent finish, 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 Helly Hansen grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
