How warm is this padded jacket?
Worn as a 3rd 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 is 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.
The advantages of 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 lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic filling and offers the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack
- Ultra-compressible
Measuring the fill power of 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 (cubic inches).
Down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation.
This down jacket with 85% down/15% feathers filling has a guaranteed fill power of 800 CUIN or more (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 commit to using only feathers from ducks raised for their meat and plucked after slaughter.
We have been awarded RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certification by a third-party organization.

How to care for a down and feather jacket
The down jacket can be worn throughout the winter and will require washing.
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 down jacket’s material is water-repellent. It lets drops of water roll off the fabric, delaying water from soaking into the jacket. So we recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the down jacket in the event of prolonged exposure to rain.
The material’s water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. As a result, the fabric doesn't soak up water, staying light and warm.
The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.
We recommend that you restore it after each wash.
Restoring water repellency
The water-repellent treatment becomes less effective with time, washing and use.
Here is how to restore the water-repellent properties of your padded jacket!

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:
