You do need a 'Good Goosing' with Down , it does keep you warm., the cheaper Split stuff comes treated these days, but the outer does need to be proofed..
As long as you have had a good Goosing' you will be warm.
Oooohhh ,er Matron!

I've got a down jacket that looks not dissimilar to the trendy ones pictured. It's incredibly warm. Insanely so. I don't wear it in this country as it's never cold enough. I reserve it for -10 and below.

It seems that around 70 percent of the population is/are wearing such garbs as this item below these days! 🧐

https://www.getthelabel.com/4a001605cu3/berghaus-urban-arkos-reflect-down-jacket-4a001605cu3/onSuccess=home&ln I see wearers, both young and old pretending to be warm in our winter weather, while wearing padded bin bags. But how can light weight plastic keep you warm, compared to 21 ounce in weight per square meter yard British tweed 🇬🇧 I ask!!🧐

Because they are very insulating.

The same way a light duvet keeps you warm much better than the heavy blankets we used to use before duvets came along (initially called "continental quilts").

I would expect to be much warmer in one of those than in your tweed coat (though either will be too warm for me in the UK).

Ski jackets have been like those for decades - for good reason.

Nothing is as warm as a good 21 ounce British tweed!🇬🇧 Here endeth the lesson!! 🧐 Besides that, why does 70 percent of the population feel the need to dress in black! I find black to be soooo chavvy!!🧐👎
