Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Men's High Altitude 20K Snow 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 Quiksilver.
• We flag PFAS in DWR coating (reported in category, undisclosed here), Polyester microfiber shedding during wear and washing and VOC off-gassing from DWR and polyester dyes on the Quiksilver and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Quiksilver is Polyester shell with DWR water-repellent treatment, 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 Quiksilver grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
