Product Customer Reviews
Beautiful color very practical
The jacket is extremely light and fits the body perfectly. Although it is not thick, it is warm in it, even on windy days. I am very pleased with it, I recommend it.
Never thought that such a light jacket could be so warm and yet nice and airy.
Delighted
Quality, stylish and comfortable. A product that is very suitable for its purpose.
Very good quality. 5 stars
used several times in extreme conditions as a second layer under a shell for mountain photography posts, both in urban contexts. superlative cost/benefit ratio, nothing to report at the moment, I would have only preferred bigger zippers.
Height 182, weight 82 kg, slim. I normally wear size L. Size XL is much more comfortable. I returned size L.
Nice jacket, close-fitting and warm, but not sure if it would hold up to -10 degrees
Jacket with excellent quality and price. It has very good thermal insulation, is lightweight and can be compacted quite a bit. A top product.
At a price of around 300 there is nothing to complain about. There is everything, even a compression sack.
Warm, well-made, and the compression bag allows you to stuff it into a backpack.
The perfect jacket for colder days, tested in the Tatra Mountains during stops, I recommend.
This down jacket is very warm, and what I was looking for to use it in bivouacs in autumn and winter or during breaks during hikes at altitude. For less extreme temperatures, choose a less insulating model. Remarkable price.
it hasn't been possible to use it for a long time yet, but it will come in winter, I'm already looking forward to how it will warm my husband!!!

How warm is this padded jacket?

The advantages of a duck down and feather filling
The filling power of down has 3 advantages for mountain sports: - Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers.- Ultra-lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack.- Ultra-compressible.
How to measure the fill power of a down and feather wadding?
The fill power is a measure of the down fts thermal insulation capacity and its potential to InchtrapInch air. It is expressed in CUIN (cubic inches). So, down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation. This puffer jacket, filled with 90% down and 10% feathers, has a guaranteed fill power of 800 CUIN (international standard) or over.

How to care for a down jacket?
The down jacket can be worn throughout the winter and will certainly need to be washed. But the less you wash it, the more it will retain its thermal insulation and water repellency.Our advice: 1/Machine wash with a detergent suitable for down or technical garments, at 30°, with 2 or 3 tennis balls. Gentle spin cycle. 2/ tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls, and repeat 2 or 3 times until it is completely dry.
Water-repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from swelling, and keeps it lightweight and warm. The fabric of this down jacket is water repellent, however, we recommend that you wear a waterproof jacket over it in the rain. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating (PFC-free) its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use. We recommend that you restore it after each wash.
How to restore the water-repellent properties?
Once you have cleaned your padded jacket, we recommend you use a water-repellent reactivator spray to preserve the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric. This renews the fabric’s water repellent properties and optimises its performance throughout the lifespan of your garment.
A snag? how to repair your fleece
A tear on a padded jacket can happen when trekking! The good news is that it can be repaired with a repair patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger or feathers from escaping. We have repair patches that you can purchase!
