Men's Down Jacket with Hood - MT500 -10°C - Men's

Down jacket with hood designed by our team, passionate about mountain trekking, for trekking in cold weather down to -10°C.

What level of warmth does this down jacket offer?

This down jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, has been validated for an active comfort temperature of -10°C, during a protocol test in a thermal chamber. The model wears a long-sleeved synthetic t-shirt and a light fleece. It works with a simulated wind at 5 km/h. We also tested this model statically. Its comfort temperature is then 0°C.

The benefits of duck down and feather filling

The loft of down gives it 3 qualities for mountain sports: - Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers. - Ultra lightness: for equal warmth, the feather is lighter than synthetic wadding. This allows you to save even more weight in your backpack. - Ultra compressibility.

How to measure the fill power of a down and feather filling?

The fill power represents the thermal insulation capacity of the down by "trapping" a certain volume of air. It is expressed in cuin. Thus, the more the down is puffy (+ the number of cuin is high), the more space it occupies, the more air it traps and therefore the more it insulates. For this down jacket filled with 90% down and 10% feathers, the fill power is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to 800 cuin (international standard).

How to maintain a down jacket?

The down jacket will be worn all winter and will certainly need to be washed. But the less you wash it, the more it retains its thermal insulation and water repellency. Our advice: 1/ Machine wash with a detergent for down or technical sportswear, at 30°, with 2 or 3 tennis balls. Gentle spin. 2/ Tumble dry on cotton setting, with 2 or 3 tennis balls, repeat 2 or 3 times until completely dry.

Water repellency of the component (not to be confused with impermeability)

The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide over its surface without absorbing it. Thus, the textile does not soak up water and remains light and warm. The material of this down jacket is water-repellent, however we advise you to wear a waterproof jacket over it in case of exposure to the rain. The water repellency is obtained by a PFC-free treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but with use it can be altered. We advise you to reactivate it after each wash.

How to reactivate water repellency?

After cleaning your down jacket, we advise you to use a liquid water repellant reactivator in order to preserve the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric. It regenerates the water repellency of the fabric and optimizes the performance of your garment throughout its life.

A snag? Here’s how to repair your down jacket

On a trek, a hitch on a down jacket can happen! The good news is that it can be repaired with a repair patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger or feathers from escaping. Not comfortable doing this repair yourself? Do not panic ! Some Decathlon workshops offer you, in store, a repair service to mend your down jacket using an iron-on patch.

This warm and compressible down jacket, thanks to its 90% down and 10% feather filling at 800 cuin, takes up little space and weight in your trekking bag. It also keeps you warm when bivouacking.
