Advantages of a duck down and feather filling The loft capacity of down gives it 3 qualities for practicing mountain sports: - Thermal insulation, thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers. - Ultra-lightness: for equivalent thermal insulation, feathers are lighter than synthetic wadding. This saves space in the backpack. - Ultra-compressibility. How is the loft capacity of a down and feather filling measured? The ability to gain volume represents the thermal insulation power of the down, thanks to the formation of a volume of enclosed air. It is expressed in CUIN. The more volume the down can take up (higher cuin number), the more space it occupies and the more air it traps, thus being more insulating. For this puffer jacket with a 90% down / 10% feather filling, the loft capacity is greater than or equal to 800 CUIN (international standard). Filling weight XS: 108 g S: 126 g. M: 135 g. L: 146 g. XL: 155 g 2XL: 168 g 3XL: 180 g 4XL: 193 g What does the RDS certificate mean?

Our advice: 1/ Machine wash with detergent for down or technical sports garments, at 30 ºC, with 2 or 3 tennis balls.

Water-repellent effect of the component (not to be confused with waterproofness). The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. Thus, the fabric does not soak up water and remains light and warm. The material is water-repellent, but we recommend that you wear a waterproof jacket over it if you are exposed to rain. The water-repellent effect is obtained by a PFC-free treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but with use these properties can be altered. It is advisable to reactivate it with every wash.
