Thermal insulation - Heat
This down jacket has been validated for a comfort temperature of -5°C in a protocolized test in a thermal chamber. The mannequin wears a long-sleeved synthetic T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. He walks with a simulated wind speed of 5 km/h. In our warmth comparator, this corresponds to a 2-star rating.
Features
- Inner flap under zip for wind protection.
- Elasticated cuffs.
- Flap at top of collar to protect chin.
- Elasticated drawcord and tanka fastening at bottom of garment.
- Hood with elasticated bias.
Technical information on wadding
We use 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.
Durable materials
This polyamide fabric uses 20-denier yarns (unit of measurement for yarn thickness) and withstands 20,000 abrasion cycles. Resistance is calculated using the martindale test, Standard 12 947-2. This test consists of rubbing the jacket material against another material in order to determine the product's wear limits.
Outer fabric: 100% polyamide 39 g/m², 20 denier
Lining: 100% polyamide 35 g/m², blend of 15 and 20 denier yarns
Component water repellency (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 do I 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. You'll find it in stores and on our website by entering code 8554908.
An invaluable tip for keeping your down jacket!
As a general rule, it's not advisable to wash a down jacket too frequently, as each wash reduces its thermal properties.
Has your down jacket got a tear? How do you repair it?
On a trek, a tear in a down jacket can happen. The good news is that it can be repaired! You can either mend it, or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from growing or the synthetic fibers from escaping. Don't feel comfortable doing the repair yourself? Don't panic! Our Decathlon workshops offer an in-store repair service for your down jackets.
