Thermal insulation - Warmth
This padded jacket, worn as a third layer, has been certified for a comfort temperature of -5° during a standardized test in a thermal chamber.
The mannequin wears a synthetic long-sleeved t-shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind.
In our heat comparison tool, it represents 2 stars.
We have also tested this model in static mode; its temperature rating is +5°C in this case.
*What does the RDS certification mean?
We use RDS-certified down: Responsible Down Standard.
Our traceability system guarantees the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers are committed to using only feathers that come from ducks bred for their meat and which are plucked after slaughtering.

Inflating Power of down/feather filling
For this down jacket with its 85/15 filling, the fill power is guaranteed to be 800 CUIN or more (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 a 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 the 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
When you take your down jacket out of the washing machine, it will feel as if the down is gone. The tumble dryer is the best way to restore the fill power of the feathers. Put your down jacket in the tumble dryer with 2 tennis balls and run 2-3 drying cycles
If you do not have a tumble dryer, you can dry your down jacket on a drying rack by turning it over and tapping regularly
How do I reactivate the waterproofing properties?
Over time, due to washing and wear and tear, the water-repellent treatment becomes less effective.
This is how you can re-activate your padded jacket’s water repellency!

Down jacket developed using continual improvement methods
The Trek 100 down jacket has been improved over the years thanks to all the customer reviews. Thank you for sharing!
Starting winter 2020, the pink model (like the other light colours) will benefit from very light-coloured feathers and down. This will prevent any visually unpleasant dark spots on the down jacket when it is wet.
