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 the water resistance of a fabric in mm (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 h of moderate rain (60 L/m²/h).

Front zip closure

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 has two main components.
Heavier fabric: RET < 12.
Lighter fabric: RET < 8.

Water slides off the jacket’s surface without seeping in.
The material stays lightweight and breathable. The water-repellent coating applied to the jacket’s exterior may change with use.
You can restore the jacket’s water-repellency by putting it in a dryer for 10 minutes on the lowest temperature.

Water repellency

To maintain the water-repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended.
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 material’s water-repellent coating. Very important: Run a full rinse cycle or extra rinse.

Washing 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. Caution: 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.

Technical information

This polyamide canvas uses 20 denier threads (thread unit of measurement) and resists up to 20,000 abrasion cycles. Durability is calculated using the Martindale test, Standard 12 947-2. This test consists of rubbing the jacket’s material against another material to see how well the product resists wear. 
Exterior: 100% polyamide fabric 39 g/m², 20 denier
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.

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.

This jacket is made with 2 coated layers, including a large mesh lining. 
That means the jacket has an outer fabric and a lining. 
A coating similar to resin is applied to the inside of the fabric, making the material waterproof yet breathable. The jacket’s inner lining protects this coating.

Jacket composition

We measure a fabric’s resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. 
The component of this product has a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm: it can withstand the pressure exerted by a 5,000-mm column of water. This is also equivalent to 5,000 Schmerbers.

Waterproofing test

Component breathability is measured by thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
This is the fabric’s ability to let perspiration escape during physical activity and prevent it from accumulating on the skin. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 

RET ≤ 6: Very breathable fabric.
RET ≤ 12: Breathable fabric.
RET ≤ 20: Little breathability.
 
Our product has a 12 RET rating.

Breathability test

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed.
This keeps the fabric from soaking up water, so it stays lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface. However, this property may deteriorate with use.

An inside flap under the zipper blocks cold air. The toggle tightening at the hem ensures your jacket is comfortable down to -10°C.

Is my jacket warm enough for winter hikes?

Your jacket has a waterproof material that keeps out water and wind. To stay warm in winter, you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm hood, hook and loop tab fastenings at the cuffs, and high collar keep the cold out. Two warm, soft fleece pockets protect your hands from the cold.

How does my jacket protect me from outdoor conditions?

A jacket’s fabric is not the only thing that makes it waterproof: the technique used to assemble it also makes a difference.
Whether it’s thermo-sealed or sewn and then taped, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is assessed in a shower test that simulates downpours of varying intensities.
This waterproof jacket will protect you from a downpour of 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.

Jacket waterproofing

The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by the coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm of water (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This jacket has a waterproof component capable of resisting 5,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing.

Jacket component waterproofing

Your jacket is waterproof thanks to the fully taped seams. The inside seams are also sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water seeping into more vulnerable areas.
The waterproofing is verified with a test that replicates the conditions of a two-hour rain shower. The jacket was also field-tested in all weather conditions to make sure it’s suitable for your activities.

Water often gets in through the seams. Does my jacket have waterproof seams?

Lots of places to keep all your accessories safe and handy (tissues, keys, phone) during your hikes.
There are two lined pockets under a flap with a snap fastening on the outside and a secure pocket with a hook and loop tab fastening inside.
There is also a secure zippered pocket on the chest.

A practical jacket with smart details

Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water, keeping it lightweight, warm, and breathable. 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 purpose (spray and liquid) are available in our stores.
