WOMEN’S MOUNTAIN TREKKING DOWN JACKET - MT500 -10°C - BLACK

For this down jacket with its 85% down/15% feathers filling, the fill power is guaranteed to be 660 CUIN or more (European standard).The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to "trap" air. So, down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation.

The durability and fill power properties of down give this jacket three qualities for hiking:- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers- Ultra low weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack- Ultra-compressible

The material of the quilted jacket is water repellent. This means that drops of water roll off the fabric preventing them from soaking into the padded jacket as quickly, giving you time to find some shelter. But the padded jacket is not waterproof. We therefore recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the down jacket in the event of prolonged exposure to rain.

In general, do not wash a down jacket too frequently.Here are a few tips: close all the zips on your down jacket and put it in the washing machine (synthetic cycle at 30°C).In order to preserve the fill power and warmth, you can even put 2 tennis balls in the machineBe careful to set a gentle spin cycle: a fast spin cycle may create balls of feathers that are difficult to break up.

When you take your down jacket out of the washing machine it will seem as if the down has gone A tumble dryer is the best way to restore the fill power of the feathers. Put your down jacket inside with 2 tennis balls. Run 2-3 drying cycles.If you don't have a tumble dryer, you can dry your down jacket on a drying rack. Regularly turn it over and pat it.For more advice, you've come to the right place!https://www.forclaz.co.uk/how-should-i-look-after-my-down-jacket
