In case of rain
The fabric of this down jacket is water-repellent. It allows drops of water to roll off the fabric, delaying the penetration of water into the down jacket until you are sheltered. But a down jacket is not waterproof. We therefore advise you to wear a waterproof jacket over the down jacket for prolonged exposure to the rain.
The advantages of a synthetic wadding filling
Wadding offers an interesting alternative to feathers:
- it provides good thermal insulation, even when wet
- it offers some breathability and may be recommended for dynamic activities (feather is recommended for static activities)
- easy care: machine washable at 30°C and tumble dryable
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.
