3D Down Jacket
3D Down Jacket
Sold Out (this item will not be restocked)
Description
Warm, lightweight, water-resistant, and breathable. The 3D Down Jacket is the ultimate all-season jacket made from a unique insulating fabric that we fell in love with.
Warm, lightweight, and breathable.
3D Down is an insulating fabric that provides amazing heat insulation in a lightweight package. 3D printing machines arrange goose down fibers in a “cobweb” pattern, allowing for increased airflow and breathability.
While the process of creating this fabric is a bit different than what you’d find in an extrusion-based plastic printer, it shares some of the underlying principles as an additive process which “deposits” the fibers rather than weaving them.
Made to move.
The outer layer is made from a blend of nylon and spandex. This provides the jacket with enough stretch to keep you comfortable while active. It also provides some water resistance in rain or snow.
Loaded with storage.
With 3 exterior zippered pockets, 1 interior zippered pocket, and 1 interior sleeve pocket, you’ll always have enough space to carry around your essentials.
Product Information
Middle fabric: polyester/down fibres
Inner fabric: 68% polyester, 20% cupra, 12% spandex
Amazing product, I can see where the money went. Its unfortunate that its discontinued but ai can understand given the price why its be hard to sell. Sorry if you missed out!
Bought this jacket in may 2023 and had it delivered to friends in the states. So had to wait till my vacation with them to receive it.
Now, about a year and a half later, this jacket has been through two dutch summers, two autums and a winter and a half. During that time it has been used mainly on my commute to work with a daily two hours bike ride.
At the time i made the decision to buy this jacket LTT had a different spec stated for water resistence than it currently has. Back then They mentioned something in the line of by their testing method it has proven to be water resistant.
I considered their testing method and it seemed good enough for me to believe the claim. (if i remember correctly, back then there was no mention of C6 DWR coating).
After this year of intense commuter usage, I can now confidently say that LTT's testing method and their conclusion of the jacket being water resistant (waterproof up to the testing conditions), was true. It still is today after all those kilometers of use (about 20.000 km rain or shine).
There is a nuance i need to add though.... the inherent water resistance is provided due to the weaving method they designed (or decided upon rather). This provides a certain period of waterproofing. After that i would call it water resistant.
On a bike ride in the rain for about 30mins. the jacket would get me there dry. The jacket would be heavy with water, which then would spread through to the inside.
Same goes for longer bike rides in the rain, the water would seep through.
This is what i expected from the description and testing method. So even though this jacket will not be restocked, i still thought i would be useful to share my experience and confidence in LTT's testing methods and conclusions.
Just use some common sense and logic added to their statements. They can't reasonably consider all use-cases after all.
Add common sense and logic and you can confidently make a decision if their product fits your needs.
This is a nice coat - it's smart enough, warm enough, light enough, and weatherproof enough to be my go-to for most situations. It's not for extreme weather of any sort but it's a good all-rounder.
However it's quite expensive. I don't think I would buy it again (at full price) as it's not proved to be vastly better than previous, less expensive options.
The fit is mostly good, but the neck doesn't sit quite right under my chin when the hood is down - it rubs a little under my chin so beware if you are broad shouldered.
Originally bought one of these for myself, and it is superb. Definitely expensive for me, but the look and feel is outstanding, and it does a good job keeping me warm down to about 30-40 F (0-5 C). It's not magic, but for how thin/lean it is, I was very impressed. Once you get lower than that, I recommend maybe putting a fleece on underneath. Personally it feels too hot once you get above 60F (16 C), so I'd say I personally enjoyed it most between 30-60F (0-16 C). I bought another one for my brother in law while they were on sale for $150 because that is a steal.
It's a bit expensive for what it is (I know this is due to the technology used) and I was able to get a discount during Lime Day so I pulled the plug.
Pros:
*It is high quality, better of something similar you could get at costco.
*Comfortable with the inner lining
*Water resistant
*Stylish
*Inner pockets are great for Canadian winter
Cons:
*Expensive due to the technology used for building it
*The "hat" is not atjustable at the top so as with most jackets (or at least that happens to me with all) you can't see anything but the floor when protecting yourself from the rain
*I got confused by the pull tab on the "hat" part and got it stuck on the plastic "valve". 100% this is my fault but I though this was confusing while using it for the first time
*Washing instructions are a bit hidden under a pocket. You can see it in a picture on this page
