What Is the RDS
The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is an independent, voluntary global standard. The standard recognizes the best practices in animal welfare and ensures the down and feathers used in our Heated Down Vests & Jackets are sourced responsibly. The RDS was developed with input from animal welfare groups, industry experts, brands, and retailers.
