If you like it nice and warm and light in winter, opt for a cozy down jacket. The down jacket is lightweight and yet is one of the warmest items of clothing for the cold season. Browse through the large selection of down jackets online or pop into one of our stores to find the right model. In our Transa online store you will also find other jackets such as coats and parkas, insulated jackets, softshell jackets, hardshell jackets and waterproof jackets and many more.
The down jacket is the timelessly popular classic for every season. The range includes attractive variants for women in feminine designs. From sports jackets and weatherproof outdoor models to stretchy lifestyle coats, Transa offers a wide variety of down clothing. Whether you're looking for a jacket with or without a hood, you're sure to find the right down jacket here. The hood is helmet-compatible on many models, making them ideal for various sporting activities. The sophisticated details also include practical zip pockets, elasticated cuffs and adjustable hems.
Jackets lined with down have a typical design. Quilting seams bottoms the fabric of the down jackets into numerous chambers that hold the down feather filling in place. The chambers also increase the durability of the clothing. Almost every jacket therefore has an attractive quilting pattern, which can be crosswise, lengthwise, diagonally striped or diamond-shaped, for example. The range also offers a surprising variety of colors. Boldly colored down jackets are available as well as models in subtle and dignified shades.
Real down is a natural product. Jackets lined with high-quality down feathers from ducks or geese offer excellent warmth. Down jackets for women are literally light as a feather and highly functional at the same time. They fit softly to the body and have strong compressibility. A down jacket is also breathable and therefore makes your body feel comfortable. The hood also has a soft down filling.
The thermal performance can be seen from the following key figures:
Transa offers models for women with different fill power. The Cuin value provides information about the bulking or filling power. The higher the value, the better the compressed feathers puff up again and the better the material insulates in relation to its weight and volume. While 500 cuin is the minimum for a light down jacket, the down filling in a model with 600 cuin is already of good quality. Down jackets with 800 cuin and more have an enormous fill power. They offer an excellent ratio of thermal performance, volume and weight and are also suitable for more extreme outdoor conditions.
How well a down jacket insulates also depends on the proportion of support feathers. Support feathers are included in almost every down jacket for women. They increase stability. The lower their proportion, the better the jacket warms, as the finely branched down stores more air due to its fluffy structure. A high proportion of down makes the garment extra soft and gives it a high fill power. The mix ratio is usually indicated on the down jackets. The indication 80/20 means that the filling consists of 80 percent down and 20 percent support feathers. With 90/10, the down content is 90 percent.
Innovative technologies form a symbiosis with the natural raw material and significantly increase comfort. Many jackets have a DWR impregnation. This serves as an outer protective layer against moisture. This has enormous advantages, straight for a down jacket. The down feathers have the disadvantage compared to synthetic fiber filling that they store moisture and therefore dry slowly. Wet down sticks together and loses its insulating effect. Numerous high-quality models, for example from the renowned brands Peak Performance and Patagonia, have an impregnation that gives the garments a water-repellent surface and keeps the lining dry.
