Jackets & Coats Allbirds Full Zip Wool Blend Puffer Jacket Women Size Small vs Men's L Insulated Gore-Tex 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 Volcom.
• We flag PTFE membrane integrity and fume risk and Durable water repellent (DWR) formulation unknown on the Volcom and not on the Allbirds.
• The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Volcom is Gore-Tex membrane (fluoropolymer-based waterproofing), 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 Volcom grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
