What level of warmth does this down jacket provide?
This down jacket, when worn as a 3rd layer, has a temperature rating of -10°C that was certified during a standardized test in a thermal chamber.
The model is wearing a synthetic long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind.
We also tested this model under "static" conditions; its temperature rating is 0°C in this case.
The advantages of a duck down and feather filling
The fill power of down has 3 advantages for mountain sports:
- The air trapped in the down and feathers provides thermal insulation
- Ultra low weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack
- Ultra-compressible
Measuring the fill power of a down and feather filling
The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to "trap" air. It is expressed in CUIN.
Therefore, the higher the fill power (i.e. the higher the CUIN number), the more space it occupies and the more air it traps thereby delivering more thermal insulation.
This 85% down / 15% feather down jacket has a guaranteed fill power equal or above 660 CUIN (European standard).
* What is RDS certification?
Our traceability system guarantees the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers are committed to only using feathers that come from ducks bred for their meat and which are plucked after slaughtering.
We have been awarded the RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certificate by a third-party organization.

Maintaining a jacket filled with down and feathers
The down jacket can be worn throughout the winter and will require washing. Follow our advice by clicking the link below:
°
In brief:
1/ machine wash, 30°, with 2 or 3 tennis balls. Gentle spin cycle.
2/ tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls, and repeat 2 or 3 times until it is completely dry.
In case of rain
The quilted jacket’s material is water repellent. This means that drops of water roll off the fabric, preventing them from soaking into the down jacket as quickly. But the down jacket is not waterproof. So we recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the down jacket in the event of prolonged exposure to rain.
Restoring water repellency

Our products' environmental impact
Different indicators are used to calculate the product's environmental impact over its entire life cycle.
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 athttp://sustainability.decathlon.com/
