TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
How warm is this padded jacket?
This padded jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, has been certified for an active comfort temperature of -10°C during a standardised test in a thermal chamber.
The model is wearing a synthetic long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind.
We have also tested this model in "static" mode; the comfort temperature is 0°C in this case.
Want to know more about the wadding?
We use 100% polyester wadding weighing 170 g/sqm in the body section and 150 g/sqm in the sleeves and hood.
The wadding is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and highly durable.
It has high insulation properties thanks to the air trapped inside yet remains lightweight.
It retains its warmth even when wet.
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 is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.
We recommend that you restore it after each wash

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
In early November 2019, we tested the Trek 500 padded jacket with a group independent to Decathlon. This year, we packed our bags and headed to the small village of Ecole, in the heart of the Bauges Mountains. With winter showing its face a little earlier than planned, we all had the chance to test and validate this padded jacket in the field in extremely cold conditions and even in the snow during our bivouac!
