Fill Power of the down/feather filling

For this down jacket filled 75/25, the fill 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 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 down's long-lasting fill power gives it 3 important qualities for hiking:

- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers

- Ultra-lightweight: with equal warmth, feather is lighter than synthetic wadding. This saves even more weight in your backpack

- Ultra-compressible



*Our feathers come from Chinese ducks raised for their meat – we collect their feathers after they have been slaughtered.

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

Synthetic down (wadded) filling provides an appealing alternative to feather down:

- 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

The material of this padded jacket is water-repellent. It makes drops of water run off the fabric so it takes longer for water to get inside the jacket, giving you time to find shelter. But the padded jacket is not waterproof. We therefore recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the down jacket in case of prolonged exposure to rain.

Note regarding the light colour versions

The X-Light down jacket is made with a fine fabric in order to make it lightweight and compact. Note that the feathers can be seen slightly due to transparency on the pink colours in the range.
