Northern Sun vs. The Competition: Why Our Gear Stands Out

by Jason Crowley 05 Mar 2024

Choosing the right outdoor gear can be a daunting task with so many brands available. At Northern Sun, we not only pride ourselves on superior product quality but also on the thoughtful integration of advanced materials and features that set our gear apart from the competition.

Advanced Weather Protection and Material Excellence:

1. Superior Fabrics and Weatherproofing: Our men's 3-in-1 Systems Winter Jackets and Parkas feature 100% polyester shells with an ECO DWR finish, ensuring 10K/10K waterproof and breathable protection. Unlike some competitors who use basic water-resistant coatings, our ECO DWR finish provides full waterproof protection while being environmentally friendly. The fully taped seams add an extra layer of security, guaranteeing that no water penetrates the jacket, keeping you dry and comfortable in extreme conditions.

2. Versatile, High-Quality Insulation: Our product lines stand out with their insulation choices. The 3-in-1 designs include removable 280g fleece liners, adaptable for various temperatures and activities, a feature often not found in competitors' offerings. Additionally, our Down Jackets are filled with 90% white duck down and 10% feathers, offering a high 700 fill power for exceptional warmth. This premium down is packed within 400T high-density 100% nylon WR Cire, a fabric praised for its durability and water resistance, providing warmth that’s built to last.

3. Thoughtful Design and Adjustability: Each jacket is crafted with user-centric features such as adjustable hoods with fused peak caps, dual adjustable cords, adjustable hem drawcords, and hook and loop adjustable cuffs. These features provide a personalized fit that adapts to your body and the weather, unlike many competitors who offer basic adjustments.

4. Enhanced Storage Solutions: We design our jackets with ample and secure storage options. Features include waterproof chest pockets, zipper-closed hand pockets under welded reversed flaps, and cargo-style pockets, all ensuring your essentials are protected and easily accessible. This functional storage goes beyond the standard offerings, making our jackets more practical for a range of outdoor activities.

5. Rugged Durability and Stylish Detailing: Northern Sun jackets are constructed to withstand harsh elements and frequent use. From the rugged welded center front fly with hook and loop closure to the stylish and functional rubber debossed logos and quilted stitching, our jackets are built to last and designed to impress. The attention to detail extends to every feature, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal are top-notch.

Why Northern Sun Stands Above the Rest:

Choosing Northern Sun means investing in gear that performs exceptionally well and lasts longer. Our commitment to quality materials, such as polyester with ECO DWR finish and high-density nylon, sets us apart in the marketplace. Our products offer more than just protection from the weather—they provide a combination of style, comfort, and versatility that active outdoor enthusiasts truly appreciate.
