Men's Hiking Down Jacket X-Light

Inflating Power of down/feather filling

For this down jacket filled 75/25, the inflating power of the down/feather is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to 540 CUIN. The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to "trap" air. Down with higher fill power (the higher the CUIN) takes up more space, trapping more air and providing greater thermal insulation.

The advantages of duck down and feather filling (for the back and front of the down jacket)

The swelling and long-lasting capacity of the down gives it 3 qualities for hiking:

- Thermal insulation thanks to trapped air in down and feathers

- Ultra lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic padding while offering the same degree of warmth. This enables less weight to be carried in the rucksack

- Ultra compressible



* Our feathers come from Chinese ducks reared for their meat, we collect the feathers after their slaughter.

The advantages of synthetic down filling (for the arms, sides and hood)

The synthetic down (padding) provides an interesting alternative to the feather:

- it provides good thermal insulation even when wet

- it provides a little breathability and may be recommended for dynamic activity (down is recommended for static or moderate activity)

In the event of rain

This down jacket fabric is water-repellent. It allows drops of water to roll over the fabric, which means it takes longer for water to penetrate the jacket, giving you time to get to shelter. But the jacket is not waterproof. We therefore recommend that you wear a waterproof jacket over your down jacket in case of prolonged exposure to rain.

Note regarding the light color versions

The X-Light down jacket is made with a fine fabric in order to make it lightweight and compact. Please note that the feathers are slightly visible through the fabric of the lightest jackets.

A way to compare the environmental impact of products

The environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire life cycle and with the variety of indicators.

An overall ABCDE score is allocated to help you more readily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing the same type of product (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).
