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 over a thermal base layer in milder seasons.

No. It has a high collar and a guard that keeps the zip from touching your chin.

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 are won over by its warmth, lightness and comfort: they wear it in town, on mountain hikes in cool, dry weather or for winter fishing, without feeling weighed down. Many also praise its good quality, attractive fit and easy care. It packs away easily in a bag, with some customers appreciating how it compresses into its pouch, although one found it less compressible than expected. It runs rather small and close-fitting, so if you are between sizes, choose the larger one.

I'm 1.88m tall and weigh 72kg, and I ordered a size M. I'm very happy with this lightweight and warm down jacket that offers excellent freedom of movement. It's perfect under my Guide Pro jacket for high-altitude mountaineering. I highly recommend this versatile down jacket.

Great product, very good quality, size L fits me perfectly (1.84m tall and 80kg). The down jacket is relatively fitted, so it's very slightly tight around the chest, but an XL would have been too big in the sleeves. I like this cut, rather than other brands that make you look like the Michelin Man. Otherwise, nothing to complain about, it's very comfortable and well-made.

Although minimal, this down jacket has all the essential pockets. Very lightweight and compact, it's ideal for keeping in your backpack without taking up much space. It keeps you warm, having been tested on several winter peaks. Aside from its technical features, which make it ideal for mountaineering, its cut also makes it suitable for urban use. Fit as per the size chart. Recommended.

Ordered size 2XL Ordered color Noir

Translated review

Based on standard measurements (for a non-athlete), my husband's height and weight would normally correspond to an XL, but because of his belly, we ordered a 2XL. A wise choice; the sleeves aren't too long. He was looking for something lightweight, warm, and comfortable. It has everything, and it's perfect.
