For this down jacket filled 75/25, the inflating power of the down/feather is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to 540 CUIN. The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to ”trap” air. Down with higher fill power takes up more space, trapping more air and providing greater thermal insulation.

The long-term fill power of the down gives it the following 3 qualities needed for hiking:- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and the feathers- Ultra-lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic padding while offering the same degree of warmth. This enables less weight to be carried in the rucksack - Ultra compressible* Our feathers come from Chinese ducks reared for their meat, we collect the feathers after their slaughter.

Synthetic down (wadded) filling provides an appealing alternative to feather down:- it provides good thermal insulation even when wet- it provides a little breathability and may be recommended for dynamic activity (down is recommended for static or moderate activity).

The down jacket can be worn throughout the winter and will certainly need to be washed. Follow our advice by clicking on the link below:

The material of the quilted jacket is water repellent. It allows drops of water to slide off the fabric which delays penetration of water into the jacket while you get out of the rain. But the down jacket is not waterproof. We therefore recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the down jacket in the event of prolonged exposure to rain.

The X-Light down jacket is made with a fine fabric in order to make it lightweight and compact. Note that the feathers can be seen slightly due to transparency on the pink colors in the range.

Thermal chamber testIt allows us to check our design choices. We reproduce the temperature, wind and humidity conditions that you encounter in the mountains. In this way we can adapt our thermal insulation where you most need it.Feather impermeability testWe use a test machine to ensure that the feathers do not escape from your jacket during your activities. Our fabrics are thus featherproof and so ensure lasting warmth.
