TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Thermal insulation

This down jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, was validated for an active comfort temperature of -18°C in a protocol test in a thermal chamber.
The model is wearing a long-sleeved synthetic T-Shirt and a light fleece. He is walking with a simulated wind speed of 5 km/h.
In our warmth comparator, this corresponds to a 4-star rating.

We also tested this model "statically", with a comfort temperature of -5°C.
Thermo-glued compartments.

How do you measure the loft of down and feather fillings?

Loft represents the thermal insulation capacity of down by "trapping" a certain volume of air. It is expressed in cuin. So, the more lofty the down (the higher the cuin number), the more space it occupies, the more air it traps, and therefore the more insulating it is. For this down jacket, filled with 85% down and 15% feathers, the loft is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to 660 cuin (international standard).

What are the advantages of duck down and feather filling?

Down's capacity to fill and resist gives it 3 qualities for hiking:
- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers
- Ultra-lightness: for equal warmth, down is lighter than synthetic wadding. This saves even more weight in the backpack
- Ultra compressibility

Limiting the risk of feather loss

The main seams of the boxes containing the down and feathers are heat-bonded, not sewn, to prevent feather loss.

In case of rain

The fabric of this down jacket is water-repellent. It allows water droplets to roll off the fabric, delaying the penetration of water into the down jacket while you seek shelter. The shoulders and hood of the down jacket, more exposed to rain, are waterproof. However, we recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the down jacket for prolonged exposure to the rain.

How do I care for a down comforter?

This down jacket will be worn all winter, and will certainly need to be washed.

Summary:
1/ Machine wash with a detergent for down or technical sportswear, at 30°, with 2 or 3 tennis balls. Spin gently.
2/ Tumble dry on cotton setting, with 2 or 3 tennis balls, repeat 2 or 3 times until completely dry.

How to reactivate water-repellency?

After cleaning your down jacket, we recommend using a water-repellency reactivator liquid to maintain the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric. It regenerates the fabric's water repellency and optimizes the performance of your garment throughout its lifetime.

An addict? Here's how to repair your down jacket

On a trek, a tear in a down jacket can happen! The good news is that it can be repaired to prevent the tear from getting bigger or feathers from escaping. Don't feel comfortable doing it yourself? Don't panic! Our Decathlon workshops offer an in-store repair service to mend your down jacket using an iron-on patch.
