Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Men's Xenair Alpine Light Insulated 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 Rab.
• We flag DWR coating composition (non-PFAS hazards) and Microplastics from fiber shedding during washing on the Rab and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Rab is synthetic insulation (likely polyester), polyamide outer shell with DWR 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 Rab grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
