TEMPERATURE RATING

Our jackets are lab-tested in a climatic chamber to establish the temperature ratings.
For moderate activity in a 5 km/h wind, this jacket is suitable for temperatures down to -29°C.

Pockets and bags

This jacket contains:
– 2 outer hand-warmer pockets. This jacket can be folded down into the right-hand pocket to reduce the amount of space it takes up in your backpack
– 2 outer chest pockets, accessible when wearing a harness + 1 pocket on the inside of the jacket into which you can slide a phone.
– 2 mesh pockets inside the jacket to keep a spare pair of gloves warm or for a flask.

HOOD

Down hood designed for wearing over your mountaineering helmet, adjustable with two systems at the front and back of the jacket.

REINFORCED FOREARMS

Washing guidelines

Machine-wash your duvet jacket on its own at 30°C and with 5 or 6 tennis balls. Wring out / spin as little as possible. Next, dry it in the tumble-dryer with the same number of balls. If you follow these recommendations, your jacket will come out as voluminous as it went in. More information is available via the following link: Decathlon Website
