Product Customer Reviews
Poor Don't buy The product it very poorly made. I returned this item
Good light
My second one of these jackets so thats a comment on my liking for them. Their weakness like many jackets of this material is the ease at which they rip. Light weight, packs small if required and warm great for everyday use
Good warmth and lightweight. Good fit. I didn't realise that the gilet packs away into it's own pocket which was an added bonus. I always unpack it and put the gilet on a coat hanger if I'm not going to use it for a day or two to try and minimise the down clumping up in places or the gilet becoming overly creased.
I have been on the lookout for a reasonably priced down gilet and eventually decided on this forclaz gilet. In the short time i wore it, i could feel the warmth from wearing it but i have had to return as it is just too slim fitting. I ordered a medium, my usual size. I have a 38 inch chest and 32 inch waist but found it just an inch or so too tight and any kind of movement caused it to bunch up around my upper chest. Not a good look. I'm currently deciding wether to size up or look elsewhere as i also found the two pockets a little on the small side and the zip just didnt feel right. I did like the price point, style and of course warmth so i would advise anyone buying this gilet to purchase a size up unless you are exceptionally slim.
So light and comfortable that hardly know it is on. The down filling adds that extra layer to keep warm. I’m normally a medium but this gilet is a very close fit so I went for large and it’s fine. Cannot comment on water repellency as I wear it under a jacket.
This is the best gillet I've had, really nice to wear, very light but warm I'm usually a size xl but ordered xxl and fits perfect you will not find a better one for the price or double the price it's a no brainer
This is the cheapest gillet I have - yet it’s warm, is light and packs down really small into my rucksack. It’s not got great water reliance but it withstands a light shower. Great value for money.
Only gilet available for Decathlon Malaysia. It keeps me warm in the operating theatre and keeps my arms free. PFC free fabric is important. But its too long (goes past hips) im 158cm and therefore too tight near the bottom but very roomy near the top. Directly packed into a thin courier bag only.
Light, warm, interesting idea of folding the vest into one of its pockets, so it takes up little space in the square. Overall great
Very good product
It is very good value for money, reaching excessive heat.
Very practical in mid-season and even indoors in winter if you don't want to turn up the heat too much. It's also great for traveling, as it doesn't take up much space at the bottom of a bag.
I washed this down jacket for the first time with the recommendations on the label but once out of the machine and air dried I noticed that the filling of the down jacket had moved and stored on one side...... so it no longer has the shape it had before and no longer the efficiency! As a regular at Decathlon, I am disappointed with this product and I would have liked to have a commercial gesture...
the vest is very light, weighs almost nothing, is warm

Why wear a down vest?
A vest keeps your core warm by insulating the chest, neck, and lower back, which are sensitive to chills. Sleeveless, it reduces backpack weight, improves breathability during activity, and allows freedom of movement under a jacket. Worn beneath the MT100 down jacket, it provides an additional 11°F (6°C) of warmth compared to wearing the jacket alone.
The advantages of a duck down and feather filling
Down filling offers three key advantages for mountain sports:- **Thermal Insulation:** Trapped air in the down and feathers provides excellent warmth.- **Ultra-Lightweight:** Down is lighter than synthetic insulation while offering the same warmth, reducing backpack weight.- **Ultra-Compressible:** Down compresses easily, saving space in your pack.
How to measure the fill power of a down and feather wadding?
Fill power measures the down fts thermal insulation capacity and its ability to InchtrapInch air, expressed in cubic inches (CUIN). Higher fill power (a higher CUIN number) means the down occupies more space, traps more air, and provides better insulation. This down vest, with 90% down and 10% feathers, has a guaranteed fill power of 800 CUIN or more (international standard).
How to care for a down and feather vest?
The down jacket is suitable for winter wear and will need occasional washing. However, washing it less frequently helps maintain its thermal insulation and water repellency.**Our advice:**1. Machine wash at 86°F (30°C) using a detergent for down or technical garments, with 2 or 3 tennis balls. Use a gentle spin cycle between 800 and 1,000 rpm.2. Tumble dry on a cotton setting with 2 or 3 tennis balls. Repeat 2 or 3 times until completely dry.
Water-repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water-repellent property of a fabric allows water to run off its surface without being absorbed, preventing the fabric from swelling and keeping it lightweight and warm. This down jacket features a water-repellent fabric, but we recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over it in the rain. The water-repellent treatment (PFC-free) on the outer surface can degrade over time with use. We suggest restoring this property after each wash.
How to restore the water-repellent properties?
After washing your padded jacket, we recommend using a water-repellent reactivator spray to maintain the outer fabric's hydrophobic properties. This will renew the fabric's water resistance and optimize its performance throughout the life of your garment.
A snag? here's how you can repair your sleeveless down jacket
A tear in a padded jacket can occur while trekking, but it can be repaired with a repair patch to prevent further damage and stop feathers from escaping. If you're not comfortable making the repair yourself, don't worry—some Decathlon stores offer a repair service using a heat-bonded patch to fix your jacket.
