Thermal insulation - Heat
This down jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, was validated for an active comfort temperature of -5°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 in a simulated 5 km/h wind.
This corresponds to a 2-star rating in our warmth comparator.
We also tested this model "statically", with a comfort temperature of +5°C.
Technical information on wadding
We use a 100% polyester wadding of 125 gr/m2 on the body and 100 gr/m2 on the sleeves and hood.
The wadding is composed of siliconized helicoidal fibers giving it great compressibility and resilience.
Despite its thinness, it has a high level of insulation thanks to the air trapped inside, while retaining a low weight.
It has the advantage of retaining its warmth even when wet.
Durable materials
This polyamide fabric, using 20-denier yarns, withstands 20,000 abrasion cycles.
Martindale test, Standard 12 947-2
Exterior: 100% polyamide fabric 39 gr/m2, 20 denier
Lining: 100% polyamide fabric 35 gr/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 your down jacket won't become waterlogged, and remains light and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric, but may be altered by use.
How to reactivate water-repellency?
Over time, with washing and wear, the water-repellent treatment becomes less effective.
Here's how to reactivate the water-repellency of your down jacket!

YOUR DOWN JACKET HAS A SNAG, HOW DO YOU REPAIR IT?
On a trek, 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 growing or the synthetic fibers from escaping.
Don't feel comfortable repairing it yourself? Don't panic! Our Decathlon workshops offer an in-store repair service for your down jackets.
An invaluable tip to make your down jacket more resistant!
As a general rule, it is not advisable to wash a down jacket too frequently, as each wash reduces its thermal properties.
