Technical information on the wadding
We use 100% polyester wadding weighing 150 g/sqm in the body section and 125 g/sqm in the sleeves and hood. The wadding is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and highly durable. Despite its low thickness, it has high insulation properties thanks to the air trapped inside, and remains lightweight.
It retains its warmth even when wet.
Durable materials
This polyamide canvas uses 20 denier threads (measurement unit of the thread) and resists up to 20,000 abrasion cycles. Durability is calculated using the Martindale test, Standard 12 947-2. This test is to rub the jacket’s material against another material to observe how the product resists wear.
Outer: 100% polyamide fabric, 39g/sqm, 20 denier.
Lining: 100% polyamide fabric 35 g/sqm, a mix of 15 and 20 denier threads.
How to look after your padded jacket
The padded jacket can be washed, but the less you wash it, the better it will retain its insulation and water-repellent properties. Wash at 30°C using a down-specific detergent, with 2 or 3 tennis balls, and select a gentle spin cycle. Tumble dry with tennis balls; repeat until completely dry.
