Thermal insulation - warmth
Worn as a third layer, this padded jacket was certified for an active comfort temperature of -5°C during a standardized test in a thermal chamber.
The model wears a synthetic long-sleeved T-shirt and light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind.
In our heat comparison tool, it represents 2 stars.
We also tested it in static mode; the comfort temperature is +5°C in this case.
What does RDS certification mean?
RDS or “Responsible Down Standard” is a worldwide certification issued to volunteer brands by an independent organization.
True to our commitment to use responsible materials, our traceability system guarantees the origin of the feathers. Our suppliers only use the feathers of geese and ducks bred for meat and slaughtered before down and feather collection.
Inflating power of down/feather filling
For this down jacket with 85/15 filling, the fill power is guaranteed to be 800 CUIN (European standard). The fill power is a measure of the down’s thermal insulation capacity and its potential to trap air. Down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air, and provide greater thermal insulation.
The advantages of duck down and feather filling
The durability and fill power properties of down give this jacket 3 qualities for hiking:
- The air trapped in the down and feathers provides thermal insulation
- Ultra-low weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack
- Ultra-compressible
In case of rain
The quilted jacket’s material is water-repellent. The treatment, applied to the main fabric, makes drops of water run off the surface; it delays the water getting inside the down jacket so you have enough time to get out of the rain.
However, in the event of prolonged exposure to rain, wearing a waterproof jacket over the quilted jacket is recommended.
How to wash your feather down jacket
Some tips: close all the zippers on your down jacket and put it in the washing machine (synthetic cycle at 30°C).
To preserve its fill power and warmth, you can even put 2 tennis balls in the machine
Set a gentle spin cycle: a fast spin cycle can create balls of feathers that will be difficult to break up.
How to dry my down jacket
After washing, your jacket’s down may seem gone. Tumble drying is the best way to restore the fill power of the feathers. Put your down jacket in the dryer with two tennis balls and run for 2–3 cycles.
If you do not have a tumble dryer, dry your down jacket completely on a drying rack by turning it over and patting regularly.
How do I reactivate the waterproofing properties?
The water-repellent treatment becomes less effective with time, washing, and use.
This reactivates the water repellency of your down jacket!
You can also use the textile re-waterproofing liquid care product.
Our products’ environmental impact
The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle using different indicators. An ABCDE rating shows the environmental impact of a product. Put forward by ADEME, it takes into account production, transportation, usage, and waste generated at the end of a product’s life.
Decathlon displays this information voluntarily to help you identify products with lower environmental impact.Learn more athttp://sustainability.decathlon.com/

Down jacket developed using continual improvement methods
The Trek 100 down jacket has been improved over the years based on customer feedback. Thank you for sharing!
Starting winter 2020, light-coloured models will use very light-coloured feathers and down. This will prevent dark spots from showing on the down jacket when wet.
Your down jacket snags... How to repair it?
Snags are common on down jackets during a hike, but they can be repaired! Simply mend it or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger, causing the feathers/down to escape.
Not confident about repairing it yourself? Don’t worry! Our workshops offer an in-store repair service for down jackets.
