Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Women's Kinetic 2.0 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 chemistry (PFAS uncertainty), Microfiber shedding from synthetic insulation and DWR coating degradation and reapplication hazard on the Rab and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Rab is synthetic insulation + nylon or polyester 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 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
