We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.
Quality Analysis 70/100
This jacket, crafted from 100% polyamide shell and filled with insulating down, offers good protection against the elements. While the "dry clean only" care might suggest a need for gentle handling, the robust shell material is a positive indicator for everyday wear.
Comfort Assessment 60/100
This Ernest jacket, while stylish and practical with its insulating down padding, is made from a non-stretchy fabric, which might limit movement and overall comfort.
Sustainability Impact 50/100
This jacket contains down and feathers without any specified traceability or welfare information, which negatively impacts its sustainability score. The shell is made of 100% polyamide, a conventional fossil-fuel synthetic with no mention of recycled content.
