Thermal insulation This padded jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, has been validated for a use comfort temperature of 0 °C during a test with a protocol in a thermal chamber. The mannequin is wearing a long-sleeved synthetic T-shirt and a thin fleece underneath. Walking with a simulated wind at 5 km/h. This corresponds to a 1-star level in our warmth comparator. We have also tested this model "at rest". In this case, the ideal temperature is +10 °C. Technical information on the wadding We use 100% polyester wadding of 100 g/m2 on the body and 60 g/m2 on the sleeves. Our advice in case of rain The fabric of this padded jacket is water-repellent. It allows water droplets to slide off the fabric, delaying the penetration of water into the padded jacket until you are under shelter. But the padded jacket is not waterproof. Therefore, we advise wearing a waterproof jacket over the padded jacket in case of prolonged exposure to rain. 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. 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 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 optimise the performance of the garment throughout its lifespan. The advantages of a synthetic wadding filling The wadding filling offers an interesting alternative to down: - it has good thermal insulation capacity, even when wet. - it offers light breathability and is suitable for dynamic activity (down is recommended for static activity). - easy to care for: machine washable at 30 °C, can be tumble dried. A tear? We explain how to repair your padded jacket In trekking, a tear in a padded jacket is quite common... The good news is that it can be repaired with a repair patch to prevent the tear from enlarging 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 jacket with an iron-on patch.
