3-in-1 concept for adapting to every situation
With the 3-in-1 system, the jacket will be ideal in cold conditions (down to -10°C) as well as for warm weather travel.
Indeed, you can leave the inner layer at home and carry the rain jacket only. You can also use the inner padded jacket on its own, as an intermediate layer over a T-shirt and jumper.
With just one jacket, you have 3 possibilities!
... as well as good tear resistance
The jacket was also subjected to single rip tearing tests. The aim is to reproduce in a laboratory the effect of your jacket snagging on something outdoors and being ripped.
Using this test protocol, we check that the fabric doesn't rip any further after a hole is made in the fabric, so that it can still protect you for years to come.
The advantages of a duck down and feather filling
The swelling capacity of the down gives it 3 important qualities during your travels:
- 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
How to measure the fill power of a down and feather wadding?
The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to "trap" air. It is expressed in CUIN (cubic inches).
So, down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation.
This down jacket is guaranteed to inflate to at least 660 CUIN in 85% down / 15% feathers (Chinese standard).
COMPONENT WATERPROOFING OF THIS JACKET
The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a membrane is measured in Schmerbers or H20 mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.
WATERPROOFNESS OF THIS JACKET
The waterproofness of a jacket isn’t limited to just its components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criterion.
Whether heat-sealed or sewn then waterproofed, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities.
The jacket complies with Chinese standard GB/T32614-2016 level II
