When the temperature drops and the snow starts to fall you need a down jacket that will stand up to the coldest of days. Think Arctica, The Down Jacket Destination. Experts in goose down jackets for ski racers, skiers and all winter sports enthusiasts.
Arctica uses only goose down in its jackets, for a good reason. It’s the best!
Geese have bigger down clusters which trap more warmth. The rule of thumb is the larger the bird and the colder the climate in which they live, the larger the down cluster and the higher the fill power of the down.
Lesser brands will use duck down because it is less expensive than goose down primarily because the worldwide supply of duck exceeds that of geese. Goose down is less oily as well which is why it does not have an odor unlike duck down.
Duck down clusters are smaller and more compact than goose down clusters, so goose down is able to achieve a higher fill power due to the larger clusters size.
Arctica offers a full lineup of goose down jackets for men, women and kids. From our warmest options – the GateMaster Down Jacket and Classic Down Packet to our lighter weight Featherlyte Hoodies, Packet and Vest – we have a goose down jacket to fit every need.
Elegant and functional, the Arctica Men’s Gate Master Goose Down Jacket 4.0 is the fourth generation of this style. The Gate Master is designed specifically for gate training in early morning or frigid conditions. Using FLEX10 stretch waterproof/breathable fabric in high impact areas and lightweight but strong breathable DURALITE fabric in non impact areas, racers can train longer to gain that competitive edge. The trim fit is carefully designed to work over a GS suit. 650 fill power goose down traps body heat. Interior build includes DURALITE, a 20 denier nylon fabric that is very soft, lightweight and slips on easily over you speed suit or layers. Waterproof exterior chest, center front, hand warmer and pass pockets. Interior features include radio and goggle pocket, powder skirt and zippered chest pocket. Reflective logos for safety.
