Jackets Spreadsheet – SuperBuy 2026
Jackets are the most expensive category in the SuperBuy spreadsheet, so mistakes here cost the most. In 2026, the focus is on fill power for puffers, waterproofing ratings for shells, and hardware accuracy for leather and denim. This gateway page explains how to read the fill power column, what waterproofing numbers mean for daily use, and which factories specialize in which outerwear type. Because jackets are heavy, they also impact shipping costs significantly, so we include a note on estimated parcel weight before you enter the full catalog.
