Fill Type Decides Performance And Price
The insulation inside a puffer jacket determines how warm it feels, how it behaves when wet, how easy it is to wash, and what price point it fits. Foriver confirms the fill type with you during the tech pack stage and proves it on the first sample. You choose between down and synthetic based on your market, budget and care requirements.
Down Insulation Offers Maximum Warmth For Weight
Down provides superior warmth-to-weight ratio. It compresses well and recovers its loft quickly after being packed. It performs best in dry, cold conditions. However, it loses insulation when wet and requires careful washing and drying.
Synthetic Insulation Works When Wet And Is Easier To Care For
Synthetic fill maintains warmth even when damp. It dries faster than down and can be washed in a standard machine. It is more consistent in performance across different climates and is suitable for active wear and outdoor use.
Baffle Construction Affects Heat Retention And Durability
The way baffles are stitched affects how well the fill stays in place and how evenly warmth is distributed. Foriver uses reinforced baffle stitching to prevent fill migration and maintain consistent insulation across the jacket.
You Decide The Fill Type Before The First Sample
The fill type is confirmed during the tech pack stage. Foriver sources the material based on your choice and produces the first sample with it. This ensures the sample reflects the actual performance and cost of the final product.
