Sizing information
Parka. Standard cut. This jacket is sized to allow it to be worn over a very warm second layer such as a down gilet or technical quilted jacket.
Hood
Removable. Fully covering storm hood keeps you well protected. Down filling. Comes with detachable synthetic fur edging. Height can be adjusted using the elastic drawcord + toggles. Depth can be adjusted using the strap + buckle system located at the back of the head. Volume designed to be worn together with warm headgear, such as a beanie or trapper hat.
Pockets
Outer: 2 warm hand pockets + 2 over-pockets under the flap with press-studs + 2 large chest pockets with watertight zips + 1 shoulder pocket under flap.
Inside: 1 large zipped pocket including a secure mobile phone compartment + 4 large 'quick access' mesh pockets (2 of which can be used to hold a bottle).
Jacket hem drawstring
Elasticated drawcord + toggles to prevent cold air getting in as far as possible.
Sleeve adjustment
Integrated Lycra cuffs prevent heat loss.
Closing system
Central two-way zip to remain comfortable when sitting or squatting.
Additional recommended products
Care products: spray or liquid water repellent treatment in the washing machine. To refresh the fabric's water-repellent properties and optimize your clothing's performance throughout its lifetime. We recommend using these products with each wash.
How the recommended temperature is measured
Ambient temperature is thermally neutral: the user feels neither hot nor cold. Use temperature, in accordance with standard ISO 11079, under the following conditions: Walking at 2.5 mph, no wind, cloudy. Jacket worn together with: upper body: long-sleeved T-shirt + shirt + sleeveless down gilet / lower body: tights + fleece base layer + pants / head: chapka + hood / hands: under-gloves + gloves / feet: ski socks + boots.
Waterproof component
We measure a fabric's resistance to a column of water in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure withstood, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a 2000 mm impermeability therefore resists pressure exerted by 2000 mm of water (which corresponds roughly to a 2-hour downpour).
Waterproof garment
Technologies: this garment has been subjected to a shower test using 16 gallons of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.
Component breathability
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapor generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 920 = little or no breathability.
Water-repellent component
Water-repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from swelling, and keeps it lightweight and warm. A fabric becomes water repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment needs to be repeated during the garment's lifetime (we recommend after every wash). Water repellent treatment products are available in our stores. All Quechua waterproof jackets have received a water repellent treatment.
A note to compare the environmental impact of the products
The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators.
An overall score of ABCDE is calculated to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).
For Decathlon, this initiative to display environmental data is a priority.
