Is it warm enough for winter?

It keeps you warm while active and during breaks in cold weather. For long periods standing still in very cold conditions, add a warm layer underneath.

It is water-repellent, not waterproof: its DWR treatment sheds light showers. Its insulation retains warmth even when damp; in sustained rain, wear it under a waterproof jacket.

How should you wear it?

Wear it as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in very cold weather, or as an outer layer on outings throughout the year.

Yes. Its close-fitting hood adjusts to protect you from cold and wind without restricting your vision.

How many pockets does it have?

Five pockets: two zipped hand pockets, one chest pocket and two inner pockets.

Yes. It packs completely into its compression sack and fits in your rucksack.

Which size should I choose?

It runs slightly small. If you're between sizes, choose the larger size.

How do I wash my synthetic down jacket and restore its loft?

Wash at 30°C with a specialist down detergent (no fabric softener) and a gentle spin cycle (600 rpm). Add wash balls or tennis balls to the drum to help redistribute the fill. Dry on a hanger in the open air or in the tumble dryer with the balls, and pat it down to distribute the fibre evenly.

What are the delivery times for this product?

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate its warmth, light weight and comfort: many find it cosy, pleasant to wear and well cut. They also praise its protection from the wind and water-repellent finish in the rain, whether hiking, sitting by the tent in the evening or worn under a hardshell. Several customers mention that it packs easily into its dedicated pocket and takes up little space, although one review finds it less compressible. Choose carefully: it runs small, and the zip can bother the neck or limit ventilation.

I am deeply impressed with the jacket. Have tried it in the winter in -3 °C only with a T-shirt dadrunter dressed.(You have to be in motion, after stopping and in break, where you stand 15-20 minutes, you cool down a bit) It has kept me comfortably warm. With a 200-er Thermo Fleece up to -5 °C, with a 300-er up to -10 °C loosely. Cimaloft does the job. The integrated hood performs better warmth than the thermal beanie, sometimes you need a beanie for optimal warmth - cold balance, sometimes proper insulation. The jacket insulates very well!!! With a combination of beanie and still the hood on it is already too much for winter hiking. It is already suitable in the real mountains. I recommend taking a larger to be able to put on in real cold also still down midlayer. I have taken instead of L, XL, fits absulut well. A certain margin gibts still to put on midlayer. Am 183cm tall, weigh 75 kg.

I use this down jacket as a liner under my motorcycle leathers. I'm 1.80m tall and weigh 70kg. I called Cimalp and spoke directly to an advisor who went to get both sizes (S and M) to try them on himself and give me all my measurements! A huge thank you to him because I was initially going for a size S, but on his advice I went with the M, and it fits perfectly! The product is stylish and very high quality. With the Thermopolar fleece lining, I can now ride my motorcycle as soon as the weather is nice, even if the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius. The down jacket is very thin and very comfortable, easy to wear under a motorcycle jacket or other layers.

The size fits me perfectly (1.81 m / 70 kg). There's still room to layer underneath without feeling constricted. Very lightweight and comfortable to wear, this down jacket is the perfect companion for getting through the Jura winter, where I live. Equally at home in the mountains or with streetwear, it will undoubtedly be a great choice for me during the mid-seasons, as I'm always cold.

Great quilt. I had purchased another one in the blue color and did an encore. To be honest it has one flaw: a 3 cm portion of a seam on the back is broken but I decided not to start the change and keep it anyway. Also tried it as the outermost layer in an icefall well formed in the layers below but less so on the surface where water dripped: it proved remarkably nearly waterproof. Lightweight, can be folded into the inner pocket, and has good thermal power despite its light weight.
