Attribute deep dive

We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 80/100

This Max Mara 'Nico' jacket is crafted from waterproof shell, a material known for its protective qualities, and features a quilted construction which adds to its resilience. The use of 90% down and 10% feathers for padding suggests a well-insulated and robust garment.

Comfort Assessment 70/100

This coat offers a relaxed, enveloping shape and is filled with insulating down, suggesting a cozy and warm feel. However, the non-stretchy, waterproof shell fabric might feel a bit rigid, potentially limiting some movement.

Sustainability Impact 50/100

This reversible coat features a blend of conventional fossil-fuel synthetics and down/feathers without traceability or welfare information, indicating a need for improved material sourcing and transparency.
