This jacket is designed for winter conditions: cold, rain, and snow. Insulation is provided by 200 g/m² wadding on the body and 150 g/m² on the arms (synthetic component that uses air trapped in its fibres to insulate). A long inner flap beneath the zipper blocks cold air. The toggle at the hem ensures your jacket is comfortable down to -10°C with a limit temperature of -27°C.

Is my jacket warm enough for winter hikes?

The recommended comfort temperature is the outdoor thermal balance temperature at which 95% of men, hiking at a moderate intensity in controlled conditions, have been neither too hot nor too cold.

The limit comfort temperature is the outdoor thermal balance temperature at which 85% of men, hiking at a moderate intensity in controlled conditions, have been neither too hot nor too cold.

Comfort and limit temperatures

The 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, very soft fleece pockets protect your hands from the cold.

How does this jacket protect from outdoor conditions?

The waterproofness of a jacket isn’t just limited to its components: the assembly technique also makes a difference. Whether heat-sealed or sewn then waterproofed, this jacket’s overall waterproofness is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities. This waterproof jacket protects you from a downpour, i.e., 12 cm (4.7”) of rain in 2 hours.

Jacket waterproofness

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

Component waterproofing

Lots of pockets to keep all your accessories safe and handy (tissues, keys, phone) during your hikes. 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 or liquid) are available in our stores.

How to preserve the technical qualities of your jacket

This jacket is roomy enough to wear over a warm second layer like a fleece or light down jacket. The classic cut is ideal for protecting you from the cold and wind while winter hiking on all types of terrain.

A cold weather jacket that’s comfortable for everyday wear.

Whatever your cold-weather activity, use the three-layer technique:

Layer 1: A high-tech base layer to wick moisture away from the body and keep your skin dry.
 Layer 2: A fleece jacket or sweater to provide warmth and transfer moisture outward.
 Layer 3: A jacket to protect against the elements (rain, snow, and wind). 
To eliminate moisture, the whole outfit must be breathable.
