Main Material

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 is wearing a synthetic, long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. Effective in simulated 5 km/h wind. 
We also tested this product in static mode: the comfort temperature is 5°C in this case.

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).

Measuring the fill power of down and feather wadding

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.

Water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)

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. 
Not sure about repairing it yourself? Don’t worry! Our in-store workshops offer a repair service to mend your padded jacket with an iron-on patch.

Easy to care for

This hooded, padded jacket combines warmth, light weight, and durability. Hike comfortably in cool weather to a low of -5°C while active.

The filling of this padded jacket is made from 70% recycled polyester fibres.
The lining uses a two-tone dyeing process where only every other thread is dyed. This dyed thread is also dope dyed, with colour pigments incorporated during the initial thread manufacture to avoid the need for dye baths and reduce our water consumption.
This process can reduce CO₂ emissions by 40% compared to traditional dyeing methods.

Check out the eco-design of this padded jacket.

The outer fabric of the MT100 black, MT100 khaki and MT100 blue models is dope dyed, a technique where pigments are added when the yarn is made (not after soaking it in dye baths as usual). This reduces water consumption and wastewater from our fabric colouring operations.

More sustainable development information

Worn as a third layer, this down jacket was certified effective during standardized heat chamber testing to a low of -5°C. The model is wearing a synthetic, long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. Good performer in simulated winds up to 5 km/h. 
We also tested this model for light-activity performance. Its comfort temperature rating is 5°C.

We use 100% polyester filling (70% recycled) weighing 125 g/m² in the body and 100 g/m² in the sleeves and hood. 
The filling is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and durable.
Despite its thinness, trapped air makes the filling highly insulating and lightweight.

It retains its warmth even when wet.

This polyamide fabric uses 20 denier thread (thread thickness unit of measurement) and resists 20,000 cycles of abrasion. Durability is calculated using the Martindale test, Standard 12 947-2. This test rubs the jacket fabric against another fabric to determine it wear limit.
Exterior: 100% polyamide fabric 39 g/m², 20 denier 
Lining: 100% polyamide fabric 35 g/m², a mix of 15 to 20 denier threads

Durable fabrics

A fabric’s water repellency is its ability to make water run off its surface without soaking in.
This prevents the fabric from absorbing water and keeps it lightweight and warm. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface but its repellency can deteriorate with use. 
We recommend restoring the coating it after each wash.

The material’s water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)

The water-repellent treatment on the MT 100 hooded jacket is PFC-free. 
PFCs make fabric water-repellent, but are toxic to humans and the environment. By replacing PFCs with other technologies that offer the same level of performance, we reduce this environmental impact.

PFC-free water-repellency treatment

Once your jacket is clean, we recommend you use a water-repellent reactivator spray to preserve the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric. Renew the fabric's water-repellent properties and optimize its performance throughout its lifetime. Look for it in store and on our website using reference code 8554908

Restoring water repellency

Snags are common when hiking in a padded jacket. The good news is that it can be repaired to stop the tear getting bigger or the synthetic fibres from escaping. 
Simply mend it or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger.

This product reflects our commitment to consuming less water

Waterproof rating of 2,000 mm.
This jacket has been shower-tested at 60 L of water/m²/hr in 1 hour. It protects you from minor downpours, i.e., 6 cm of rain in one hour.
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. Waterproof material rated 2,000 mm can withstand the pressure exerted by a 2,000 mm column of water (roughly the equivalent of a two-hour shower).

Water resistance (fabric)

By recycling plastic bottles or used fabrics to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of petrol-based resources while maintaining the material’s quality and performance during hikes.
We use recycled polyester fibres on the blue (code 8731538) and on the red (code 8650029), as well as for the jacket lining in all colours.

Why choose recycled polyester?

The fabric of this jacket is water-repellent, i.e., water runs off its surface without being absorbed. This keeps the fabric from soaking up water so the jacket stays lightweight and breathable. A water-repellent treatment is applied to the exterior of the fabric. The main seams are also taped.

Fabric water repellency

Our fabric is extremely breathable – TER 12 
Breathability is measured according to the product’s thermal evaporative resistance. This refers to its capacity to release perspiration during activity. The lower the thermal evaporative resistance (RET), the higher the fabric’s breathability.

RET < 9 = extremely breathable 
RET < 12 = very breathable 
RET < 20 = breathable 
RET > 20 = slightly breathable to not breathable at all

Fabric breathability

We changed our water-repellent treatments to exclude perfluorocarbon (PFC) technologies.
PFCs make fabric water-repellent but are toxic to humans and the environment. By replacing PFCs with other technologies that deliver the same level of performance, we reduce our environmental impact.

Your health is our top priority

To maintain water repellency, we recommend regular reactivation. 
Reactivate water repellency after three washes (remember to rinse thoroughly) or after using a dozen times in the rain. 
You can easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) – with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm (8”), twice
 – with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

How to maintain your jacket’s waterproof coating and long life

How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your physical activity. If the fabric’s breathability is not right for your activity, perspiration will condense inside the jacket. Your clothing will feel damp. this is not rain coming through, but condensation caused by perspiration. It’s important to choose a jacket based on the type of physical activity you will be doing. This jacket is designed for the occasional one-day hike at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph).

Choose your waterproof jacket according to the intensity of your activity. 

For full protection against wind and rain, we recommend the NH 500 Rain Overpants too.

Three-season pants

The pant material contains spandex. If you are between two sizes, choose the smallest of the two. After washing, the pants may seem a little tight. However, they will loosen after use (like a pair of jeans with spandex).

Our advice for choosing your size

The fabric of these pants contains 79% organic cotton.
We began using organic cotton in 2006, a market that currently represents just 0.4% of worldwide cotton production. The cotton is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It protects biodiversity, soil fertility and reduces the risk of groundwater pollution. This is still not enough and that’s why we are working to make this product eco-designed.

Our environmental approach

Thanks to all your feedback, we have improved the concept and design of the NH 100 pants. The stretch component of this new model increases your freedom of movement. We also improved comfort (softness of cotton, width of the waistband) and drying speed (synthetic component). Finally, we also took into account your feedback on the depth of the pockets and the cut of the pants.

Place of Practice

We make our polyester from plastic bottles, reducing the use of oil-based resources while preserving the material’s quality and performance.

Recycled polyester

Bulk dyeing or “dope dyeing” incorporates the pigments during the thread manufacture. This technique reduces the environmental impact compared to standard dyeing, which takes place once the thread forms a fabric and involves more water consumption and pollution. 
Our MH 120 black and grey fleece models use the dope dyeing process, and we’re working to develop it for other colours.

Dope dyeing

The fabric’s texture and brushed knit traps air.
This air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.Lab-tested for comfort at temperatures from 7°C to 10°C without an additional jacket.

Fleece material: insulates with air

Our hiking fleeces are tested to guarantee durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to pilling caused by contact with backpacks and arm movements
- seam strength
- resistance after several washes
- colourfastness after washing or exposure to UV light or perspiration

Guaranteed lifespan of two years

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this fleece is then manufactured by our suppliers in Vietnam and Bangladesh.
We collaborate closely with these partners who have specialist expertise in fleece manufacturing.

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 prevent the cold from entering. Two warm, very soft fleece pockets protect your hands from the cold.

How does my jacket protect me from outdoor conditions?

Your jacket has a waterproof coating on the outer fabric. A fabric’s resistance to water pressure is 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. A 2,000 mm waterproof rating can withstand the pressure of a 2,000 mm column of water. Shower-tested under 60 L/m2/hour of water, roughly equivalent to a two-hour rain shower.

How can I be sure that my jacket is 100% waterproof?

Your jacket is waterproof because of 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 by conducting 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.

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 or liquid) are available in our stores.
