Men's padded mountain and trekking jacket with hood Forclaz MT100

Description

Designed to provide immediate warmth during trekking and daily life. Its robust and easy-care design makes it your ideal companion for cold weather. What warmth does this padded jacket offer? This padded jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, has been validated for a comfort temperature in activity of -5 °C in a protocol test in a thermal chamber. The mannequin is wearing a long-sleeved synthetic t-shirt and a thin fleece underneath. It walks with a simulated wind at 5 km/h. We have also tested this model "at rest". Its comfort temperature in this case is +5 °C. Want to know more about the wadding used? We use a wadding of 125 g/m² in the body and 100 g/m² in the sleeves and hood. The wadding is composed of siliconized helical fibres, which give it a high compression capacity and strong resistance. Despite its fineness, the wadding offers a high level of insulation with great lightness thanks to the trapped air inside. The wadding offers the advantage of retaining warmth even when wet. Resistant materials This polyamide fabric uses 20 denier threads (unit of measurement for the thickness of a thread) and resists 20,000 abrasion cycles. Resistance is calculated using the "martindale" test (Standard 12 947-2). This test consists of rubbing the jacket material against another material in order to check the wear limits of the product. Exterior: 100% polyamide fabric of 39 g/m² and 20 deniers. 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 stays light and warm. Water-repellency is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but with use these properties can be altered. It is advised to reactivate it at each wash. How to reactivate the water-repellent effect? After washing the padded jacket, we advise using a water-repellent reactivating 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 optimize the garment's performance throughout its useful life.

The good news is that it can be repaired with a repair patch to prevent the tear from enlarging or 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 jacket with an iron-on patch. Functionality
