How warm is this padded jacket?

When worn as a third layer, this padded jacket has been certified for an active comfort temperature of -10°C during a standardized test in a thermal chamber. The model is wearing a synthetic, long-sleeved shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h (3 mph) wind. We also tested this product in static mode; the comfort temperature is 0°C in this case.

The advantages of down and feather filling

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 wadding is lighter than synthetic and provides the same warmth. This saves more weight in your backpack. - Ultra-compressible.

Measuring the fill power of 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. This jacket is filled with 90% down and 10% feathers and has a guaranteed fill power of 800 cuin (international standard) or more.

How to care for down jackets

This washable down jacket can be worn all winter. Our advice: 1. Machine wash with a detergent suitable for down or technical garments at 30°C. Use a gentle spin cycle. 2. Tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls, and repeat 2 or 3 times until it is completely dry.

Water repellency (different from waterproofing)

This fabric is water-repellent. Water repellency keeps the fabric lightweight and warm. It is recommended to wear a waterproof jacket over top in the rain. Treatment on the outer surface achieves water repellency, but the treatment can deteriorate with use. We recommend restoring it after each wash.

Restoring water repellency

After washing, we recommend using a water-repellent spray to prevent water absorption. This renews water-repellent properties and improves performance throughout the garment’s life cycle.

How to repair your jacket

Snags are common during hikes. The good news is that it can be repaired to prevent further tearing and to stop feathers from escaping. Need help repairing? Don’t worry! Some Decathlon workshops offer in-store repairs and can repair your jacket using an iron-on patch.
