Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Picture Women's Lassen GORE-TEX 2L Jacket 2026: 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 Picture Organic Clothing.
• We flag PTFE (GORE-TEX) fume risk from high heat exposure, DWR (durable water-repellent) fluorochemical degradation and reapplication and Microplastics shedding from synthetic outer shell on the Picture Organic Clothing and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Picture Organic Clothing is GORE-TEX 2L membrane (polytetrafluoroethylene-based laminate) with DWR 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.
