Thermal insulation and warmth
This padded jacket has been certified for a comfort temperature of -5°C during a standardized test in a thermal chamber.
The mannequin wears a synthetic long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind.
In our heat comparison tool, it represents 2 stars.
Technical information on the filling
We use 100% polyester filling (70% recycled) weighing 125 g/m² in the body and 100 g/m² in the sleeves and hood.
The filling is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and durable.
Despite its thinness, the trapped air makes the filling highly insulating and lightweight.
It retains its warmth even when wet.
Durable materials
This polyamide fabric uses 20 denier thread and can withstand 20,000 abrasion cycles.
Martindale test, 12947-2 standard
Outer: 100% polyamide fabric 39 g/m², 20 denier
Lining: 100% polyester fabric 35 g/m², mix of 15 to 20 denier threads
The material’s water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface without being absorbed. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and warm. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. The garment should be retreated over its lifespan (recommended after each wash).
Products are available for this purpose in our stores.
Restoring water repellency
The water-repellent treatment becomes less effective with time, washing, and use.

What is a PFC-free water-repellent treatment?
Our water-repellent treatment contains no PFCs (perfluorocarbons).
PFCs are used to make fabric water-repellent; however, they are toxic to humans and the environment. By substituting PFCs with other technologies that give the same level of performance, we are reducing our environmental impact.
Do you know why the inner lining of your padded jacket is grey?
The fabric we use reduces CO2 emissions by 40%.
This fabric’s lining is innovative because it mixes a dope-dyed black yarn and an undyed yarn.
Compared to a classic dyeing process, this process reduces:
• fine particle emissions (PM2.5) by 66% • eutrophication of fresh water by 74%
• eutrophication of sea water by 68%
Our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint
On the black Trek 100 model, the outer fabric uses a clean dyeing process known as dope dyeing (the thread is dyed in bulk). This reduces carbon emissions by 36%.

Valuable advice for improving the durability of your down jacket!
In general, do not wash a down jacket too frequently because each wash decreases its thermal properties.
How to repair tears in padded jackets
Snags are common when hiking in padded jackets, but they can be repaired! Simply mend it or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger, causing the synthetic fibres to escape.
Not confident about repairing it yourself? Don’t worry! Our in-store workshops offer a repair service for your padded jackets.
Our products’ environmental impact
An ABCDE rating shows the environmental impact of a product. An ABCDE rating shows the environmental impact of a product. Put forward by ADEME, it takes into account production, transportation, usage, and waste generated at the end of a product’s life.
