Feather origin
Thanks to our traceability system, we can guarantee the origin of the feathers, in compliance with our commitment to use responsibly sourced materials. Our suppliers are committed to using only feathers that come from ducks that are bred for their meat and which are plucked after slaughtering.

Fill Power of the down/feather filling
For this jacket filled with 85% down / 15% feathers, the fill power is guaranteed to be 800 CUIN (European standard)
The fill power is the capacity of the down to insulate by "trapping" a certain volume of air. Consequently, the higher the fill power (i.e. the higher the CUIN number), the more space it occupies and the more air it traps thereby delivering more thermal insulation.
Weight of the filling
XS: 51.3 g
S: 54.9 g
M:58.5 g
L: 62.1 g
XL: 66.6 g
2XL: 70.2 g
The advantages of a duck down and feather filling
The down's long-lasting fill power gives it 3 important qualities for hiking:
- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers
- Ultra-lightweight: to provide equal warmth, feathers are lighter than synthetic wadding. This saves even more weight in your backpack
- Ultra-compressible
