Technical information on the wadding

We use 100% polyester wadding weighing 150 g/sqm in the body section and 125 g/sqm in the sleeves and hood. The wadding is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and highly durable. Despite its low thickness, it has high insulation properties thanks to the air trapped inside, and remains lightweight.
It retains its warmth even when wet.

Durable materials

This polyamide canvas uses 20 denier threads (measurement unit of the thread) and resists up to 20,000 abrasion cycles. Durability is calculated using the Martindale test, Standard 12 947-2. This test is to rub the jacket’s material against another material to observe how the product resists wear.

Outer: 100% polyamide fabric, 39 g/m², 20 denier.
Lining: 100% polyamide fabric 35 g/sqm, a mix of 15 and 20 denier threads.

How to look after your down jacket

The down jacket can be washed, but the less so, the better to retain its insulation and water-repellency. Wash at 30°C using a down-specific detergent, with 2-3 tennis balls, gentle spin. Tumble dry with tennis balls; repeat until completely dry.

Wash with zip closed.
