WOMEN’S Trekking Down Feather Jacket MT100 -5°C Ultra Light and Compact

This padded jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, has been certified for a comfort temperature of -5° during a standardised test in a thermal chamber. The model is wearing a synthetic long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind. In our heat comparison tool, it represents 2 stars. We have also tested this model in "static" mode, the comfort temperature is +5°C in this case.

RDS or “Responsible Down Standard” is a worldwide certification issued by an independent organisation to volunteer brands. This standard enables us to guarantee the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers commit to using only goose and duck feathers bread for their meat and slaughtered before down and feather collection.

For this down jacket with its 85/15 filling, the fill power is guaranteed to be 800 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 3 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. The treatment is applied to the main fabric that makes drops of water run off the surface, thereby delaying the time it takes for water to get inside the down jacket, so you have enough time to get out of the rain. We nevertheless recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the quilted jacket in the event of prolonged exposure to the 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 machine Be 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.

The trek 100 down jacket has been improved over the years thanks to all the customer reviews. Thanks for sharing! From winter 2020, the pink model (like the other light colours) will benefit from very light-coloured feathers and down. This will prevent any visually unpleasant dark areas on the down jacket when it is wet.
