Padded mountain and trekking vest men's Forclaz MT100

Description

This padded, wadding-filled gilet has been designed to keep you warm on your trekking routes in cool weather. Want to know more about the wadding used? We use 100% polyester wadding of 125 g/m2. The wadding is composed of siliconised helical fibres which give it great compressibility and high resilience. Despite its thinness, the wadding offers a high level of insulation with great lightness thanks to the air trapped inside. The wadding offers the advantage of retaining heat even when wet. Resistant materials This polyamide fabric uses 20 denier threads (unit of measurement for the strength of a thread), and withstands 20,000 abrasion cycles. Martindale test, Standard 12 947-2. Outer: 100% polyamide fabric of 39 g/m2 and 20 denier. Lining: 100% polyamide fabric of 35 g/m2, blend of 15 and 20 denier threads. Water-repellent effect of the component (not to be confused with waterproofness). The water-repellent effect 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 water-repellent effect is obtained by a 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. How to reactivate the water-repellent effect? After washing the padded jacket, we advise using a water-repellent reactivator liquid to preserve the water-repellent properties of the outer fabric. This makes it possible to regenerate the water-repellent effect of the fabric and optimise the garment's performance throughout its useful life. How to repair your gilet? When trekking, a tear in a padded gilet is quite common... The good news is that it can be repaired with a repair patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger or the synthetic fibres from coming loose. Prefer not to do this repair yourself? Don't worry! Some Decathlon workshops offer an in-store repair service to mend your padded gilet with a heat-sealed patch. Functionality Inner flap under the zip to protect against the wind.
