Technical information on wadding
We use a 100% polyester wadding of 115 gr/m2 on the body and 60 gr/m2 on the sleeves and hood.
The wadding is composed of siliconized helicoidal fibers giving it high compressibility and resilience.
Despite its thinness, it has a high level of insulation thanks to the air trapped inside, while retaining a low weight.
Component water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it.
This means that the textile does not become waterlogged, and remains light and warm.
Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric.

How do you repair a snagged down jacket?
A tear in a down jacket can happen, and the good news is that it can be repaired! In fact, you can either mend it or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger or the synthetic fibers from escaping.
