Main Material

It has a double filling of ball fibre wadding, a good alternative to feather down:
- like feathers, it is composed of multiple fibres that trap air, providing insulation from the cold
- it offers good thermal insulation, even when wet
- it is easy to maintain: machine washable and can be tumble dried

How will this parka keep my child warm?

We carried out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory in light wind conditions (5 km/hour). 
The comfort temperature is the calculated air temperature where 70% of users feel “slightly warm.”
For this parka, it’s -5.5°C.
However, every individual feels the cold differently.

What is the comfort temperature of this parka?

This parka was designed with a waterproof outer material that prevents water and wind from getting inside. To stay warm in winter, you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm, waterproof attached hood with fur, the ribbing at the cuffs, the high collar, and the central zipper with windproof protection tabs prevent the cold from getting inside. This parka has 6 pockets including 2 soft, warm ones.

How does my parka protect me from outdoor conditions?

A coating applied to the outer fabric of your parka makes it waterproof. The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm (ISO 1092 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a 20,000-mm waterproof rating is resistant to the pressure of a 20,000-mm column of water (Schmerbers). Validated in a shower test under 60 L/m²/hour of water, which is roughly equivalent to a 2-hour rain shower. This test was carried out before washing.

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

Your parka is waterproof because of the fully taped seams. The inside seams are also sealed with waterproof tape to make them watertight and prevent water from seeping into more vulnerable areas.


  Fully taped seams?

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 or sweater to provide warmth and transfer moisture outward.
Layer 3: A parka to protect against the elements (rain, snow, and wind). 
To eliminate moisture, the whole outfit must be breathable.

How to dress properly for hiking in the cold weather

A coating or membrane is applied inside to make the fabric water- and windproof. Technically, a waterproof fabric qualifies as windproof. Wind protection is very important due to the significant chilling effect wind can have on the body.

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 the jacket

We test for durability: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colourfastness, and resistance to repeated washing. All these tests have been carried out on the parka material.

Zipper Type

We use 90% recycled wadding for this padded jacket.
The filling for the lining has three essential qualities for hiking:
- it had good thermal insulation even when damp
- it provides breathability 
- compressible

Insulation using recycled synthetic wadding.

Water repellency is achieved by applying a treatment to prevent water from remaining on the fabric’s surface. 
Water rolls off without being absorbed so the garment remains light, breathable, and warm. This product is water-repellent, not waterproof.
This treatment should be reapplied to remain effective. Apply sprays on the outside instead of using additives during washing, as these additives can damage the product’s breathability.

Water repellency

Polyester and recycled wadding:  Using recycled polyester as well as recycled wadding (90%) means no oil-based resources are used. The waste is recycled into resources that can be reused.

Our environmental policy

However, every individual feels the cold differently.

How will this jacket keep my child warm?

This parka was designed with a waterproof outer material that keeps out water and wind. The hood, shoulders, and lower back are rated 29,600 Schmerbers, while the chest is rated 19,400 Schmerbers (before washing). To stay warm in winter, it is important to protect the head, hands, and feet. Storm hood with detachable synthetic fur, storm cuffs, and a stand-up collar to keep out the cold.

How does the parka keep my child warm and dry?

A coating on the outer fabric makes this jacket waterproof. The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm (ISO 1092 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproofing resistance of 20,000 mm resists the pressure of 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers). Validated in a shower test under 60 L/m²/hour of water, which is roughly equivalent to a two-hour rain shower. This test was carried out before washing.

Taped seams make your parka completely waterproof. The seams are made watertight by adding adhesive waterproof strips on the inside, preventing water from getting through to vulnerable areas.
The waterproofing is verified with a test that replicates the conditions of a two-hour rain shower. Kids then tested its performance on a hike.

What does “100% taped seams” mean?

Practical, smart details: 2 outer pockets with flaps, 1 secure inner pocket for storing essentials such as a phone, and 2 mesh inner pockets to store gloves. The main zipper has a cursor and the snaps have thumb loops: Kids can open and close the zipper without removing their gloves.

A practical jacket with smart details

We test for durability: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colourfastness, and resistance to repeated washing. Washing the faux fur is not recommended. The hood can be removed before washing the parka.
If absolutely necessary, wash the fur by hand and then let it air dry.

Can I wash this jacket regularly without damaging it?

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 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.

How do I choose the right clothing for hiking in the snow?

The filling for the lining has three essential qualities for hiking:
- good thermal insulation capacity, even when wet
- breathability and is recommended for dynamic activity (down is recommended for static activity)
- good compressibility: padding is highly compressible

Synthetic padding provides insulation.

This functional feature is obtained by applying a hydrophobic treatment to the fabric. This process means that water rolls off the fabric without being absorbed. As a result, the garment remains lightweight, breathable, and warm.
This treatment can be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Apply sprays on the outside instead of using additives during washing, as these additives can damage the product’s breathability.

Membrane Construction

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).

Its depth is adjustable. Regulations prevent the addition of a drawstring on the collar.
The hood visor and headband provide good coverage and a better hold.
The high collar protects your neck.

Features 2 front zip pockets.
Please note: Pockets are not watertight.

Full-length zipper with an inner storm flap that protects against wind and water.
A soft flap on the top of the collar shields your chin.

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 over time.
You can restore the water-repellent properties by putting the jacket in a dryer for 10 minutes on the lowest temperature.

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 (30°C–40°C) with regular 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.

This jacket has a waterproof material that keeps out water and wind. The hood and shoulders are rated 33,000 Schmerbers, while the chest and sleeves are rated 27,500 Schmerbers (before washing). To stay warm in winter, you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm hood, fastenings at the cuffs, and high collar keep the cold out. Two pockets protect your hands from the cold.

How does my jacket protect me from outdoor conditions?

A coating applied to the outer fabric of your jacket makes it waterproof. The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm (ISO 1092 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. The material resists pressure to the equivalent of 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers). Validated in a shower test under 60 L/m²/hour of water, which is roughly equivalent to a 2-hour rain shower. This test was carried out before washing.

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

The seams of a jacket can be taped to keep water out.
The main seams of this jacket are taped, just like the seams of the hood, collar, shoulders, armholes, and chest.

What does it mean that the main seams are taped?

How to preserve this jacket’s technical qualities

We test for durability: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colourfastness, resistance to repeated washing. 

We have incorporated 70% recycled polyester in this product.
What does that mean? As well as being technical, this product was designed with its environmental impact in mind. In short: polyester yarn is made from oil. Using recycled polyester is a way to reclaim and repurpose waste products such as manufacturing remnants or plastic bottles instead of using new oil resources. And that’s a step in the right direction!

Removable Hood

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. Components scoring 2,000 mm can resist the pressure from 2,000 mm of water (equivalent to a 2-hour rain shower). Waterproofing is expressed in Schmerber units (for example:  This number applies before washing.

Component waterproofing

A coating applied to the fabric makes it waterproof and windproof. Technically, a waterproof fabric is also windproof. Protection from the wind is critical as wind can really chill the body during physical activity.

Windproof effect

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.
