Moose Knuckles Warmth Levels Explained: Which Jacket for Your Winter

Every Moose Knuckles outerwear style carries a Warmth Level from 1 to 4. It is the single most useful number on the label, because it tells you the temperature range the jacket is built for. This guide explains the scale, lists the jackets at each level and helps you match the level to your winter. Every product page in the Moose Knuckles collection at Coveti shows the level in the description.

Quick answer

Level 1: Kinda Cold

For 10°C to 0°C. Think autumn, early spring and mild winter cities. These are vests, light bombers and lightly insulated jackets you can wear indoors without overheating.

• Iceberg Quilt Down Vest and men’s Iceberg Quilt Down Vest
• Elora Down Jacket and Tegan Down Bomber Jacket
• Brixton Down Trucker Jacket and Jacques Bunny Jacket

Level 2: Very Cold

For 0°C to minus 10°C. This is the right level for most winters in London, Paris, New York and Seoul. Warm on a frosty morning, not too much on the train.

• Greystone Down Jacket and Laki Down Jacket
• Original Stirling Down Parka 2.0
• Roselawn Down Jacket and West-Ed 3Q Down Jacket
• Classic Bunny Hoodie, with its removable faux-fur lining

Level 3: Seriously Cold

For minus 10°C to minus 20°C. Chicago, Toronto, Berlin in a cold snap, a ski town in the evening. This is where most of the Fall Winter 2026 down styles sit.

• Soho Down Bomber and Soho 3Q Down Jacket
• Everest Hooded Down Puffer and Everest Down Parka
• Banff Down Jacket and Celestia Long Down Parka
• Gilded Long Down Parka
• Northbound Fox Fur and Down 3Q, with 900-fill-power goose down

Level 4: Canada Cold

For minus 20°C to minus 30°C. Montreal in January, the prairies, a winter trip to the far north. These are the Originals icons, built with a heavy cotton and recycled nylon shell and 800-fill-power RDS-certified down.

• Original Ballistic Down Bomber and Original Debbie Down Bomber
• Original 3Q Down Jacket
• Original Stirling Down Parka and Original Stirling Long Down Parka
• Iceberg Quilt Down Puffer
• Pioneer Fur and Down Parka, fully lined in genuine fox fur

How to choose your level

Pick the level that covers the coldest days you actually spend outdoors, not the record low. If you walk a lot, cycle and stand at bus stops, go one level warmer. If you drive, take the train and spend most of the day indoors, go one level lighter, because a Level 4 jacket on a heated train is uncomfortable. Wind matters too: a damp, windy 0°C can feel like minus 8°C, and every Level 2 to Level 4 style is wind-resistant for exactly that reason.

What makes the higher levels warmer

• Length: the Level 4 parkas cover the hips and thighs, where you lose heat sitting and standing.
• Fill and baffles: most styles use 800-fill-power down; the warmer styles carry more of it, and the Northbound styles step up to 900-fill-power goose down.
• Shell: the Originals use a dense cotton and recycled nylon shell that blocks wind.
• Seals: rib-knit storm cuffs, down-filled collars and hoods with shearling and fur trim keep warm air in.

Do the levels apply to the Bunny and knitwear?

Some do. The Classic Bunny Hoodie is rated Level 2 with its faux-fur lining, and the reversible Bunny hoodies are Level 1. Plain tees, sweatshirts and joggers have no rating. See the Bunny hoodie guide.
