Goose Down vs. Synthetic Insulation: Which is it for me?

[@l.d.9903]

You forgot to mention how the feathers are violently ripped from live geese leaving them bleeding and in pain. When their skin is tore, they are sutured without anesthesia. I was about to buy a down jacket but I was wandering how the feathers are collected. What I learned was horrific. Now I'm looking for a good substitute; I will welcome any recommendations.

Google 'Vegan Parkas'. They're warm, waterproof, and some use military grade materials for added weather protection. There are many beautiful styles, and they're quite affordable. There's a Canadian company that makes beautiful vegan parkas called TNA (They're on the Aritzia website). Hope this helps!💜

Before you buy a down product, make sure it doesn't contain any down plucked off of a living or hunted bird!

Except you don't actually care for the animals and theres no difference.
