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 should I wash and dry this synthetic insulated jacket?

Machine-wash this jacket with synthetic insulation (polyester and Sorona) at 30 °C or on a synthetics cycle, no more than once or twice a year. Use a suitable detergent without fabric softener, a gentle 600 rpm spin, and laundry or tennis balls to help fluff up the insulation. Dry it flat, shaking it out as it dries, or tumble-dry on a low heat, then pat it to restore its loft. Store it completely dry and uncompressed.

What are the delivery times for this product?

All orders placed by midnight are prepared the next day. In France, orders placed before 1 pm (excluding weekends) with Chronopost 24h are dispatched the same day. Delivery then depends on the carrier and takes 1 to 4 days in France. Delivery times for Europe and the rest of the world vary by destination.

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 love this lightweight, warm and comfortable jacket, which provides effective insulation without restricting movement. Many praise its quality, neat finish and easy care, as well as its proper pockets. It works just as well for everyday city wear as for hiking, travelling or winter fishing, including as a third layer between 3 and 10°C. Several customers say it packs easily into a bag, but it is less compressible than a down jacket. The fit can be tight across the chest: if you are between sizes, choose one size up.

This is my 3rd Cimalp down jacket in a different color, with synthetic insulation, which is the best proof of my attachment to this model. Impeccable finishing and excellent color retention over time.

Very comfortable in this jacket, well suited for hiking and travel. And real pockets—I love that. A few loose seams, but nothing serious.
