HIKING AND TREKKING DOWN JACKETS: THE WALKER'S ANTI-COLD WEAPON

Hiking jackets are essential for all trekkers and hikers who practice walking in the mountains and during the winter months. Filled with synthetic or down jackets, they are available with or without sleeves in multiple colors and finishes that often make all the difference from one model to another. Depending on whether you practice winter walking occasionally or whether you are equipping yourself for a hike, you will opt for a model allowing you to effectively fight against the cold. Generally, it is worn over a hiking t-shirt or a hiking fleece , for even more warmth

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A DOWN JACKET(FEATHER) OR SYNTHETIC HIKING JACKET?

The down jacket is 100% natural, as its padding is made from duck or goose feathers. The more it will be inflated, the more it will insulate you from the cold. Its degree of insulation is measured in Cuin. The higher it is, the greater the volume of air contained in the fleece and the better insulated you will be. The price of a down hiking jacket is high. It has the advantage of being very compressible, is more robust than synthetic down jackets and protects very well from the cold. On the other hand, the synthetic down jacket is easier to maintain and dries faster. Down jackets made from technical fabrics are waterproof.

HOW TO MAINTAIN A DOWN JACKET?

Either take it to the dry cleaners or put it in your washing machine. Some models are programmed for this type of garment. To dry it and make it regain all its swelling, you will put a tennis ball in your dryer. This will preserve its fluffiness. Synthetic down jackets are easier to care for. Generally, they go in the washing machine and dry faster than a down hiking jacket. If you are afraid of mistreating your garment, entrust it to a dry cleaner. A dry cleaning will make it look like a new down jacket.
