Want to explore snow-covered trails? We designed this waterproof and jacket to be warm in temperatures as low as -5°C.Its design provides comfort in temperatures as low as -5°C. You can stay dry while hiking thanks to its taped seams. Lightweight and simple for your daily winter outings.

Can I be sure that my jacket is warm enough for my winter hikes?

We developed your jacket for wintry conditions: cold, rain and snow. Insulation is made from 100 g/m² wadding on the body and arms.
The fleece-lined hood also lets you keep your head well protected and warm.
The elastic tightening at the bottom of the jacket and sleeves is the finishing touch to ensure your jacket is comfortable.

How does my jacket protect me from outdoor conditions?

Your jacket is designed with a waterproof outer component that keeps out water and wind. To keep you warm in winter you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm hood, the elastic tightening at the cuffs and the high collar prevent the cold from entering. Two warm pockets in extremely soft fleece protect your hands from the cold.

WATERPROOFNESS OF THIS JACKET

The waterproofness of a jacket is not limited to just its components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criterion.
Whether heat-sealed or sewn then waterproofed, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities.
As such, this waterproof jacket protects you from light rain, i.e. 3 cm of rain in 30 minutes.

COMPONENT WATERPROOFING OF THIS JACKET

The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm H²0 (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.
This jacket has a waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard) resistant to 5,000 mm H²O (Schmerbers) before washing.

Water often gets in through the seams. Does my jacket have waterproof seams?

Your jacket is waterproof thanks to its taped main seams. Waterproof tape is added to the seams inside the garment to make them watertight so that water cannot enter through the more vulnerable areas.
We validated the waterproofing with a shower test specially designed to replicate the conditions of a 30-minute shower. We also wore it in the field in all weather conditions to make sure that it is suited to your activities.

A simple and practical jacket.

Two lined pockets to keep all your accessories safe and to hand (tissues, keys, phone, etc.) during your hikes.

How to preserve the technical qualities of my jacket?

A fabric’s water repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment’s lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products (spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.

A cold weather jacket comfortable for everyday wear.

Jacket designed with sufficient volume inside so that a warm second layer such as fleece or light down can be worn.
Its classic cut is ideal for protecting you from the cold and wind during your winter hikes on all types of terrains.

How does my product warranty work?

This product is guaranteed for 2 years from the date shown on the sales receipt. A product covered by the warranty will be exchanged free of charge. The warranty covers product defects, excluding those resulting from normal wear and tear and improper use.

How to dress properly for snow hiking?

To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle:
layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.
layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.
layer 3: The jacket protects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.
The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.
