Such different at first glance countries like Russia and Finland actually have a lot in common. What unites us is not only the love of hockey and a hot couple, but also cold, snowy winters. Production of warm clothes, including down jackets, is very well developed in Finland. Finnish down jackets are very highly valued here in Russia, as they are able to withstand even the most severe frosts.
One of the most well-known Finnish companies involved in the production of outerwear for down is Joutsen. We will talk in detail in today's article about the features of the products of this brand, the materials used and the best models of Joutsen down jackets.
Little about the brand
Joutsen, now a popular company, was once only a small family business - a sewing workshop that specialized in the production of downy products.
At first it was only feather beds, pillows and blankets, and then outerwear was also added to this list. Interestingly, the idea of creating such an enterprise visited its founder Marius Pedersen, when he watched his wife washing the feathers in the sauna.
The company was founded back in 1936. 80 years after the first products of the new brand saw the light, Joutsen is one of the largest manufacturers of down jackets and fluff bedding not only in Finland, but throughout Europe.
The fundamental principles of the company are the highest professionalism of its employees and the unconditional quality of products. Compliance with these principles is the main reason that Joutsen products managed to win the trust and love of a huge number of buyers in many countries, including Russia.
Materials and insulation
Joutsen is known for its responsible approach to the selection of materials for its products. Preference is given to natural raw materials mined or manufactured in Finland. Both fabrics and down-padded fillers have excellent performance characteristics.
As the top layer of down jackets and coats, special microfiber is used, which passes air well, repels moisture and reliably holds the filler inside the product.
It is lightweight, but at the same time very durable fabric. Joutsen's down jacket filling is 100% swan's down, which makes things incredibly warm, but almost weightless.
All materials used in the manufacture of Joutsen down jackets undergo several stages of quality control in the company's laboratory. For example, the ability of products to withstand freezing temperatures is checked in a specially equipped freezer.
Models

Tips for choosing
The range of down jackets Joutsen is very wide, so in such a variety of choice is easy to get lost. It is important to know for what purposes and for what time of year you plan to purchase this item.
Lightweight models are suitable for the end of autumn and early spring, and for the winter it is recommended to buy “full-fledged” down jackets: they are heavier, but also warmer.
If you move mostly by car, you will be more comfortable in shorter down jackets, jackets or vests.
Those who go on foot or go by public transport should pay attention to the long down coat and short coat.
An additional advantage is the presence of a detachable hood or a large gate.
