Every Moose Knuckles bomber compared

The Level 4 icons: Ballistic and Debbie

The Original Ballistic Down Bomber is the men’s original: a cropped down bomber with a shearling-trimmed hood and the metal logo plate on the sleeve, rated for minus 20°C to minus 30°C. The Original Debbie Down Bomber is its women’s counterpart, with a stretch shell that is water-repellent, wind-resistant and breathable, and an adjustable shearling-trimmed hood. Both come in more colourways than any other style. Our Ballistic Bomber guide covers sizing and fit in detail.

The Level 3 city bombers

For most cities, Level 3 is the sweet spot. The Soho Down Bomber for men and the Soho Down Bomber for women have a slim stretch shell and no fur. The Kings Down Bomber and Queens Down Bomber are the quilted pair, and the Banff Down Bomber comes in Blue Ice and Combat as well as black. For gold hardware, the men’s Gold Series Stagg Down Bomber is the pick.

Fur bombers

The Northbound Fox Fur and Down Bomber pairs 900-fill-power down with a removable fox fur hood, and the Pioneer Down and Fur Bomber lines a cotton shell in fox fur. For faux fur, the women’s Jill Faux Fur Bomber is all plush texture. Our fur guide explains every trim.

Light bombers for spring and autumn

At Level 1, the women’s Tegan Down Bomber Jacket and the men’s Brixton Down Bomber Jacket are light down layers. The satin bombers, the Luxe Satin Reversible Bomber, the Drift Satin Bomber Jacket and the men’s Georgie Satin Bomber Jacket, are for mild days. The Grid 3-In-1 Wool Bomber Jacket has a removable quilted liner, so it covers autumn through to February.

How bombers fit

A Moose Knuckles bomber finishes at the waist and sits close to the body. Take your usual size for a neat fit over a tee and a light knit. Size up one size in a Slim Fit bomber if you want room for a thick jumper underneath. The full charts are in our size guide.

Bombers around the world

The UK searches for Moose Knuckles bombers more than any other country; a waist-length jacket suits short, cold commutes and a Level 3 bomber is usually plenty there. In Canada and the northern US, the Level 4 Ballistic and Debbie lead for the coldest weeks. In Europe, the Soho and Kings bombers sell well for city wear, and the satin bombers are popular in milder climates such as Australia. Read our UK, USA and Europe guides.

Bomber, 3Q and parka compared

A bomber stops at the waist and suits drivers, cyclists and anyone who wants freedom of movement. A 3Q jacket finishes mid-thigh and is the most versatile length. A parka such as the Stirling Parka covers the most of you for long days outdoors.
