Main Material

The inside of your fleece is brushed, a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: Inspired by fur and animals, the component's knit is capable of trapping air, naturally insulating. The cuffs stop the cold air getting in.

A fleece that’s warm enough for winter?

Perspiration is normal when hiking. This can quickly become unpleasant when moisture builds up under your clothes. To avoid this unwelcome feeling, we designed this fleece with a breathable fabric that easily wicks away perspiration.

Why make a breathable fleece?

The breathability of a fabric is measured by its evaporative resistance RET (ISO 11092 standard): The lower it is, the more breathable the fabric. Examples: RET< 9 (very breathable), 9 < RET < 12 (breathable), RET > 20 (low breathability).
This fleece jacket has a RET index of 15.1.

What is a RET index?

The durability of our products is verified through various tests. We check, for example, that our fleeces don’t pill, the colours don’t run and repeated washing doesn’t affect the properties of the fabric. 
A Martindale test measures the resistance of the fabric to abrasion.

A soft, comfortable, durable fabric

With its light, stretchy component, your fleece lets you move freely, essential when hiking on snow. Your personal belongings will be safe in the zippered pockets.

A practical and comfortable fleece

To face the cold, follow the 3-layer technique: 
1) Technical and breathable base layer. 
2) Sweater or fleece for warmth and moisture transfer. 
3) Jacket for protection against bad weather. 
Make sure the outfit is breathable to wick away moisture.

Dress properly for hiking on snow

Clean your jacket, turned inside out and zipped up, at 30°C on a synthetics cycle. Don’t exceed a 1,000 rpm spin cycle. Avoid tumble drying to preserve the quality of the fabric.

Packaging

Wool fibres can store a lot of air and let water vapour escape, making wool an excellent choice for moisture management and thermal regulation. Wool’s ability to store and release moisture make it an insulating, comfortable material for hiking socks.

The properties of wool

The merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, then carded, spun, and finally used for knitting or weaving.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight, and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.

What are the benefits of merino wool?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend: 
- Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool). 
- Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable.
- Boot height: the height of your socks should correspond to the height of the boot: for more protection, choose higher socks.

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

These socks come in packs of 2 pairs of matching socks.

Pack of 2 pairs

The stretchy fabric means these socks conform to your feet and stay firmly in place. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise trying on your socks in store before purchase, and testing them before going on a long hike.

Tightening Type

Worn underneath waterproof over-gloves, they will provide 6°C of extra warmth when you’re active. 
Worn under mittens/fingerless gloves, they will provide 3°C of warmth when you’re active. 
These glove liners are ideal for wearing on their own in temperatures of around 8°C and above.
We recommend wearing these glove liners with gloves over the top for better protection.

How much extra warmth do these glove liners provide?

All our gloves are lab- tested on a thermal hand to determine their warmth. The results are based on a study carried out on a panel of 23 testers walking in temperatures ranging from 10°C to -20°C with a wind speed of 10 km/h. These temperature ratings are only valid in walking conditions. 

How is usage temperature measured?

Optimize insulation by applying the layering principle. Wearing liner gloves in addition to gloves creates several air pockets that effectively insulate your hands from the cold. The gloves must be big enough not to compress your fingers. This is because compression slows down blood flow in the fingers, which prevents them from staying warm.

How to effectively protect your hands from the cold

When active, the body generates heat that is preserved by your clothing’s thermal insulation. If the clothing is inadequate, your body cools and the blood flow to the hands and feet drops in order to keep your upper body warm. Your clothing therefore plays a role in keeping your hands warm.

How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing

We recommend washing your merino wool glove liners in a washing machine at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with a liquid detergent. 

Dry them on a flat surface away from a heat source. This could damage the fibre and make them lose their shape. Never put them in the dryer.

The warm, insulated lining effectively protects from the cold in temperatures as low as -31°C. Lab and field tested with hikers. We approved the comfort temperature both at rest and while walking, as this can vary significantly: -8°C when stationary and -17°C when moving. We also considered how different people feel the cold differently.

Are these boots warm enough for winter hikes?

A 100% waterproof mid-height inner shoe protects the part of the foot most in contact with the snow. The textile upper is water-repellent and warm for effective protection against cold and snow.
The seams that join the inner shoe and the upper are not waterproof. In very deep snow, over time water can get in through the seams resulting in wet feet.

How do these boots protect from outdoor conditions?

Traction depends on the number and shape of the lugs. The grip depends on the materials of the sole and the tread pattern, like car tires. Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents slipping when going uphill, and stabilizes the boot. 
Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, and ice).

What is the difference between traction and grip?

The Snow Contact soles are designed for maximum comfort and grip for hiking on snow. The 3.5 mm (0.14“) lugs are spaced strategically for optimal grip when hiking on snow. They provide optimal grip on hard snow and evacuate excess water to prevent you from slipping.

How much grip and traction does this boot provide?

The material and tread of Snow Contact soles are specifically designed for optimal grip and traction. Snow Contact soles are more effective on snow than traditional soles. When walking on ice, adding crampons to your boots is the only way to ensure optimum safety.

What are the advantages of Snow Contact technology?

This product was lab-tested by our engineers to ensure your total satisfaction. We tested the following elements: tear resistance of eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, and accelerated aging.

Will my boots withstand regular use over the long term?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend the following principles: 
Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool).
 Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable.
Boot height: the height of the sock should correspond to the height of the boot—for more protection, choose higher socks.

Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light, breathable, and warm. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Products for this purpose (spray or liquid) are available in our stores.

How to preserve the technical qualities of the boots

Boots can become heavy through condensation and perspiration if you wear them in wet conditions.
If your boots are very wet, remove the insole and fill the upper with balls of newspaper, changing the newspaper regularly. The paper will absorb the moisture and dry them faster.
Never place your boots too close to a heat source. Leave them in a warm, dry, and ventilated place.

Is my parka warm enough for winter hikes?

The parka has a waterproof material that keeps out water and wind. To stay warm in winter, you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, and feet). The hood (with removable synthetic fur), cuffs, and stand-up collar all keep out the cold. The comfortable, fleece-lined handwarmer pockets protect your hands.

How does this parka protect you 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 parka’s overall waterproofness is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities.
This waterproof parka protects you from a downpour, i.e., 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.

Waterproofness

The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm water (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This product has a waterproof fabric resistant to 15,000 mm water (Schmerber) before washing.

Durability tests are conducted on selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colourfastness, and resistance to repeated washing. All these tests have been conducted on the jacket material.

Will this parka withstand regular use long-term?

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 parka

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.

Country

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 wind. We also tested this product in static mode; the comfort temperature is 0°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 wadding is lighter than synthetic and provides the same warmth. This saves more weight in your backpack.
- Ultra-compressible.

The advantages 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.

Measuring the fill power of down and feather filling

XS: 122 g (4.3 oz)
S: 131 g (4.6 oz)
M: 140 g (4.9 oz)
L: 149 g (5.2 oz) 
XL: 159 g (5.6 oz)
2XL: 170 g (5.9 oz)
3XL: 181 g (6.3 oz)
4XL: 192 g (6.7 oz)

Filling weight

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.
Our advice: 
1. Machine wash at 30°C with detergent specially formulated for down or technical garments. Use a gentle spin cycle. 
2. Tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls; repeat 2 or 3 times until completely dry.

How to care for down jackets

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.

Water repellency (different from waterproofing)

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.

Restoring water repellency

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.
