Check out the eco-design of this padded jacket.
The filling of this padded jacket is made from 70% recycled polyester fibres.
For the lining, we use a bi-ton dyeing process, where only one out of every two threads is dyed. This dyed thread is also the result of dope dyeing, which incorporates the colour pigments from the initial thread manufacture to avoid the use of dyeing baths and to reduce our water consumption.
This process can reduce CO2 emissions by 40% compared to traditional dyeing methods.
For more information on sustainable development:
On the black and blue Trek 100 models, the outer fabric uses a clean dyeing process known as dope dyeing (the thread is dyed before the yarn is woven), reducing CO2 emissions by 36%.

How warm is this padded jacket?
Worn as a third layer, this padded jacket has been certified for an active comfort temperature of -5°C during a standardized test in a thermal chamber.
The model was wearing a synthetic long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind.
We have also tested this model in static mode; the comfort temperature is +5°C in this case.
Want to know more about the filling?
We use 100% polyester filling (70% recycled).
The filling is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and durable.
Despite its low thickness, the trapped air makes the filling highly insulated and keeps it 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’s water repellency is its ability to make water run off its surface without being absorbed.
This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and warm.
The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface; however, this property may deteriorate with use.
We recommend restoring it after each wash.
PFC-free water-repellency treatment
On the Trek 100 padded jacket, the water repellent treatment is PFC (perfluorocarbons)-free.
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 the environmental impact.
Restoring water repellency
Once you have cleaned your padded jacket, we recommend you use a water-repellent reactivator spray to preserve the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric

Our products’ environmental impact
The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle using different indicators. 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.
Decathlon displays this information voluntarily to help you identify products with lower environmental impact.Learn more at http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
