mountain trekking for several days in cold weather #### Feather origin Thanks to our traceability system, we can guarantee the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers are committed to using only feathers that come from ducks that are bred for their meat and which are plucked after slaughtering. #### Inflating Power of down/feather filling This 85% down, 15% feather padded gilet has a guaranteed minimum fill power of 660 CUIN. The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to ""trap"" air. So, down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation. #### Weight of the filling S: 119 gM: 124 gL: 130 gXL: 136 g: 142 gXXXL: 149 g #### The advantages of duck down and feather filling* The durability and fill power properties of down give this jacket 3 qualities for hiking:- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers- Ultra low weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth.
