WHAT ABOUT THE HEAT?
This down jacket has been validated for a comfort temperature of -5°C in a protocolized test in a thermal chamber, with a simulated wind speed of 5 km/h. In our warmth comparator, this corresponds to a 2-star rating.
OUR FAVORITE WADDING...
It's a 100% polyester wadding, 125 g/m² on the body and 100 g/m² on the sleeves and hood. The wadding is composed of siliconized helicoidal fibers, giving it high compressibility and resilience. Despite its thinness, it offers a high level of insulation thanks to the air trapped inside, while retaining a low weight. And it retains its warmth even when wet.
WHAT IS DEPERLANCE? (not to be confused with waterproofing)
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. This means the fabric doesn't become waterlogged, and remains light and warm. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the garment (we recommend every wash). Our stores offer water-repellent products for this purpose.
HOW TO REACTIVATE DEPERLANCE?
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 water repellency of the fabric and optimizes the performance of your garment throughout its lifetime. You'll find it in stores and on our website by entering code 8554908.
