Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Men's Mission Gore-Tex 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 PTFE membrane and fluorinated DWR coatings (PFAS family), Polyester lining off-gassing and dyes and Laminate delamination and microplastic shedding on the Quiksilver and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Quiksilver is Gore-Tex membrane (PTFE-based waterproof laminate), 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 42% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
