- For this gilet with its 85% down /15% feathers filling, the filling power is guaranteed to be 660 CUIN/30 g or more (European standard). The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to "trap" air. Down with a higher filling power (higher CUIN/30 g number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation.
- The gilet will be worn throughout the winter and will certainly need to be washed.

- A gilet helps to keep the body warm: it protects the chest, neck and kidneys from the cold, as these areas a especially sensitive to chills. The sleeveless gilet is therefore especially appreciated during exertion while hiking.
- This down gilet's fabric is water repellent, meaning the raindrops will slide off the surface of fabric. The water therefore takes longer to soak into the jacket, giving you time to find shelter. But the down gilet is not waterproof. We therefore recommend wearing a waterproof jacket on top in the event of prolonged exposure to rain.
