DESIGN
90% down and 10% feather padded jacket for comfort and lightness.
We’ve added heat zones where you need them most, adapted to the needs of freeriders.
Stretch areas on the back, sides and under the arms for freedom of movement.
The stretch fabric is very breathable and also wicks away perspiration.
A hood that fits under the helmet and high collar to protect you from bad weather.
Directions for use
During times of intense physical exertion, dressing too warmly can actually make you feel cold. The perspiration is unable to escape and therefore remains in constant contact with your skin. It is therefore useful to have a liner jacket that you can remove in more mild temperatures. It's also important to open the vents before you get too hot and close them before you get cold when the intensity of your physical effort decreases, as it does on the ski lifts.
What should you wear under your skiing jacket?
To keep warm and dry, use the 3-breathable-layers rule: 1 skiing base layer, 1 intermediate layer liner jacket to retain warmth and 1 outer layer ski jacket to protect you from the elements.
Layer 1: it keeps you dry by wicking away the perspiration from the skin to the other layers.
Layer 2: it provides warmth, this is the case for down jackets or fleece pullovers.
Fill power of the down/feather filling
For this jacket filled with 90% down / 10% feathers
The fill power is the capacity of the down to insulate by "trapping" a certain volume of air. Down with higher fill power takes up more space, trapping more air and providing greater thermal insulation.
What are the advantages of duck down and feather filling?
The down’s long-lasting fill power gives it three important qualities for Freeriding:
- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers
- Ultra-lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding, while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack
- Ultra-compressible
How to wash your feather down jacket?
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 machine
Be careful to set a gentle spin cycle: a fast spin cycle may create balls of feathers that are difficult to break up.

How to dry my down jacket ?
When you take your down jacket out of the washing machine, it will seem as if the down has gone. THE TUMBLE DRYER is the best way to restore the fill power of the feathers. Put your down jacket in the tumble dryer with 2 tennis balls. Run 2-3 drying cycles.
If you do not have a tumble dryer, you can completely dry your down jacket on a drying rack by turning it over and tapping regularly.
