What does the RDS* certification mean?


This 85% down / 15% feather down jacket has a guaranteed fill power equal or above 660 CUIN (European standard).The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to "trap" air. So, down with a higher fill power (high CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation.

Down/feather fill power

The durability and fill power properties of down give this jacket 3 qualities for hiking:
- 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

What are the benefits of a duck down and feather filling?

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.

In case of rain

Some tips: close all the zippers on your down jacket and put it in the washing machine (synthetic cycle at 30°C). 
To preserve the fill power and warmth, put 2 tennis balls in the machine
NB: set a gentle spin cycle, as a fast spin cycle creates clumps that are difficult to break up.

How to wash your feather down jacket

During washing, the down loses its loft. Tumble-drying is the best way to restore fill power. Put your down jacket in the dryer with two tennis balls. Run 2–3 drying cycles.
If you do not have a tumble dryer, you can completely dry your down jacket on a drying rack by turning it over and patting regularly.

Schmerber

We measure a fabric’s resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure a fabric can withstand, the more waterproof it is.
Waterproofing ratings:
Component resistant to water pressure of 15,000 mm before and after ageing (5 washes). This is equal to 15,000 Schmerber (the average pressure exerted during rainfall).
This jacket was tested in 2 hours of moderate rain (60 L/m²/h).

Waterproofing 1/2

- High collar
- Injection-moulded plastic to avoid salt oxidation
- Water-repellent components (water runs off the fabric)
- 100% taped seams
- Central opening features a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing

Waterproofing 2/2

The hood is attached and doesn’t stow into the collar.
Height- and depth-adjustable.
The hood visor and headband provide good coverage and a better hold.
The high collar protects your neck.

Features 2 front zip pockets and 1 inner right chest pocket with a rip-tab closure. Note: Pockets are not waterproof.

The full-length zipper includes an inner storm flap that protects you from wind and water,
and the collar has a soft flap to shield your chin.

Front zipper

To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its resistance to evaporative heat transfer (RET). The lower the RET, the easier it is for water vapour generated during physical exertion to pass through the fabric.
For example:
RET < 9 = very breathable;
RET 9–12 = breathable.
 
     

This jacket stays lightweight and breathable in wet conditions because water
slides off the treated fabric instead of seeping in. The water-repellent coating applied to the jacket’s exterior may change over time.
To restore it, place the jacket in the dryer for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.

Water repellency

To preserve its water-repellent coating, do not wash this jacket too often.
Close all zippers and flaps, empty all pockets, and turn the jacket inside out. Wash it on the synthetics cycle at 30°C or 40°C with your usual detergent. Don’t use fabric conditioner or bleach, as these could damage the water-repellent coating. Very important: Choose a full-rinse cycle or extra rinse.

How to wash your jacket

Drying is a crucial phase in restoring the water-repellent treatment.
We recommend laying your garment flat on a clothes rack to dry. Warning: Never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.
Next, put your garment in the dryer and run a short synthetics cycle (10–15 min.) before turning it right-side-out. Caution: Do not over-dry the garment.

Zipper Type

This fleece has a fitted, comfortable cut. Wearing a technical undergarment close to the skin is recommended for better protection against the cold. This fleece was designed to be worn under our windproof and waterproof jackets, such as the MH 100 Hiking Jacket.
Choose your usual size.


The brushed fleece component is designed to trap air; this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. 

How does the material insulate you from the cold?

Two types of tests measure warmth:
- a material test 
- tests using a thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber We reproduce the temperature, wind (5 km/h), and humidity conditions encountered in the mountains during a 5 km/h hike.
These tests help us validate our design choices before field testing. 
This fleece has a comfort temperature between 7°C and 10°C (without a jacket over top).

How is warmth measured?

We make our polyester from plastic bottles, reducing the use of oil-based resources while preserving the material’s quality and performance.The white model is made from 100% recycled polyester and the grey model from 25% recycled polyester.

Why choose recycled polyester?

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water and produces wastewater from the dye baths. We use a bulk dyeing process that involves adding the colour pigments when manufacturing the thread to reduce the environmental impact. This dyeing process is used for our white and black models.

Our commitment to reduce water consumption

The aging of our hiking fleeces is tested to guarantee durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to wear from backpacks and moving arms to delay the appearance of pilling
- seam strength
- resistance to washing 
- colourfastness after washing and exposure to UV light and perspiration.

Lining: 100% polyamide fabric 35 g/m², a mix of 15 and 20 denier threads

Durable materials

A fabric’s water repellency refers to its ability to shed water from its surface before it gets absorbed.
This prevents the fabric from absorbing water and keeps it lightweight and warm. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime (recommended after each wash). Water repellency-restoration products are available in our stores.

Water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)

Once you clean your padded jacket, we recommend a water-repellent reactivator spray to preserve the outer fabric’s hydrophobic properties. This renews the fabric’s water repellent properties and optimizes its performance throughout its lifespan. Look for this product in store and on our website using code 8554908

Water repellency restoration

Our water-repellent treatment contains no PFCs (perfluorocarbons).

PFCs make fabric water-repellent, but are toxic to humans and the environment. By replacing the PFCs with other technologies that we are currently developing to achieve the same level of performance, we help reduce this environmental impact.

What is a PFC-free water-repellent treatment?

The fabric we use reduces CO₂ emissions by 40%.
The lining is innovative; it weaves dope-dyed black yarn together with undyed yarn. Compared to a classic dyeing process, this method reduces:
•	fine particulate emissions (PM2.5) by 66%
•	Fresh water eutrophication by 74%
•	sea water eutrophication by 68%

Do you know why the lining of your padded jacket is grey?

Dyeing textiles uses lots of water, chemical products, and energy. However, we still enjoy wearing colour. To reduce our impact, we use the dope dyeing, a technique where colour pigments are added when the yarn being produced (not soaked in dye baths as usual). This reduces water consumption and wastewater from fabric dyeing operations.

We reduced the environmental impact by dyeing the threads before weaving them.

In general, it’s best not to wash a down jacket too often. Each wash lowers its thermal properties.

Valuable advice for improving your padded jacket’s durability!

Sometimes a padded jacket gets torn on the trails. Good news! It can be repaired! Simply mend it or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger and letting the synthetic fibres to escape.

Not sure about repairing it yourself? Don’t worry! Our in-store workshops offer a repair service for your padded jackets.

Thermal comfort and windproof

A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off its surface without being absorbed. This prevents the fabric from absorbing 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 for this are available in our stores. All Quechua softshell jackets have a water-repellent treatment.

Standard feminine cut. Inside volume lets you wear a second layer underneath for extra warmth when needed.

How warm is this padded jacket?

The fill power of down has 3 advantages for mountain hiking:

- Thermal insulation, because of the air trapped in the down and feathers.
Ultra-lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic fill and provides the same warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack.
- Ultra-compressible.

The advantages of duck down and feather filling

Fill power is a measure of the down’s thermal insulation capacity and potential to trap air. It is expressed in cuin (cubic inches).
Down with higher fill power will take up more space, trap more air, and provide greater thermal insulation.With an 85% down and 15% feather filling, this jacket has a guaranteed fill power of 800 cuin or more (international standard).

Inflating power of down/feather filling

A fabric’s water repellency is its ability to make water run off its surface without being absorbed.
This prevents the fabric from absorbing water and keeps it lightweight and warm. The fabric in this down jacket is water-repellent, although we recommend you wear a waterproof jacket over top in the rain. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, but the treatment can deteriorate with use. 
We recommend restoring it after each wash.

This washable down jacket can be worn all winter. But the less you wash it, the longer its thermal insulation and water repellency will last.
  
In short: 
1. Machine wash at 30°C with detergent specially formulated for down or technical garments. Gentle spin cycle.

2. Tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls and repeat 2 or 3 times until it is completely dry.

How to care for down jackets

Once you have cleaned your padded jacket, we recommend using a water-repellent reactivator spray to preserve the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric. This renews the fabric’s water-repellent properties and optimizes its performance throughout its life cycle.

How do I reactivate the waterproofing properties?

Snags are common when hiking in a padded jacket. Simply mend it or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger and letting the synthetic fibres escape.
