Best reviews of 🌟 Forclaz Trek 100, 23°F Synthetic Padded Puffer 🎒 Backpacking Jacket, Men’s Hiking Clothing ❤️

This eco-designed padded jacket is filled with 70% recycled polyester fill.
With its high-tech features, compact size, and slim fit, it saves weight for backpacking use while keeping you warm.

With this warm, light, and durable padded jacket, you can hike comfortably in cool weather (between 23°F and 41°F, depending on whether you are walking or not).

Check out the eco-design of this padded jacket!

The filling of this padded jacket is made from 70% recycled polyester fibers.
For the lining, we use a “bi-ton” dyeing process where only 1 thread in every 2 is dyed. This dyed thread is also the result of dope dyeing, which incorporates the color pigments from the initial thread manufacture to avoid the use of dyeing baths and reduce our water consumption.
This process can reduce CO2 emissions by 40% compared to traditional dyeing methods.

Additional sustainable development information

On the Trek 100 black and Trek 100 blue models, the outer fabric uses a clean process known as dope dyeing (the thread is dyed before the yarn is woven) reducing CO2 emissions by 36%

How warm is this padded jacket?

This padded jacket, worn as a 3rd layer, has been certified for an active comfort temperature of 23°F during a standardized test in a thermal chamber.
The model is wearing a synthetic long sleeve T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 3 mph wind.

We have also tested this model in “static” mode; the comfort temperature is 41°F in this case.

Want to know more about the fill?

We use 100% polyester padding (70% recycled).

The fill is made from silicone-coated spiral fibers that make it highly compressible and highly durable.
Despite its low thickness, the air trapped inside provides high insulation properties while allowing it to remain lightweight.

It retains its warmth even when wet.

Durable materials

This polyamide fabric that uses 20 denier thread can withstand 20,000 abrasion cycles.
Martindale test, 12947-2 standard

Outer: 100% polyamide fabric 1.4 oz/m², 20 denier
Lining: 100% polyester fabric 1.2 oz/m², mix of 15 to 20 denier threads

Water-repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it.
This prevents the fabric from swelling and keeps it lightweight and warm.
The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface; however, this property may deteriorate with use.

We recommend that you restore it after each wash

PFC-free water-repellent treatment

On the Trek 100 padded jacket, the water-repellent treatment doesn’t contain PFCs (perfluorocarbons), i.e. it is PFC-Free.

PFCs are used to make fabric water-repellent; however, they are toxic to the environment and people. By substituting PFCs with other technologies giving the same level of performance, we are reducing the environmental impact.

How to restore water-repellent properties

Once you have cleaned your padded jacket, we recommend you use a water-repellent reactivator spray to preserve the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric
