What does the RDS* certification mean?
RDS or “Responsible Down Standard” is a worldwide certification issued by an independent organization to volunteer brands.
This standard enables us to guarantee the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers are committed to sourcing down humanely, using plumage from waterfowl that have undergone no undue harm.

Inflating power of down/feather filling
For this down jacket with its 85% down/15% feathers filling, the fill power is guaranteed to be 660 in³ or more (European standard).
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 in³ number) will occupy more space, trap more air, and provide greater thermal insulation.
What are the benefits of a duck down and feather fill?
The durability and fill power properties of down give this jacket 3 qualities for hiking:
– Thermal insulation provided by the air trapped in the down and feathers
– Ultra low weight: Down is lighter than synthetic fill while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack
– Ultra-compressible
Reducing the risk of feather loss
The main stitching of the compartments containing the down and feather are heat-sealed to prevent the loss of feathers.
In case of rain
The material of the quilted jacket is water-repellent. It allows drops of water to slide off the fabric, which delays the penetration of water into the quilted jacket while you get out of the rain. The shoulders and hood of the jacket, which are more exposed to the rain, are waterproof. We nevertheless recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the quilted jacket in the event of prolonged exposure to the rain.
How to wash your feather down jacket
In general, do not wash a down jacket too frequently.
Here are a few tips: Close all the zippers on your down jacket and put it in the washing machine (synthetics cycle at 86°F).
In order to preserve the fill power and warmth, you can even put 2 tennis balls in the machine
Be careful to set a gentle spin cycle: A fast spin cycle may create balls of feathers that are difficult to break up.
How to dry your down jacket
When you take your down jacket out of the washing machine, it will seem as if the down has gone. A tumble dryer is the best way to restore the fill power of the feathers. Put your down jacket inside with 2 tennis balls. Run 2-3 drying cycles.
If you don’t have a tumble dryer, you can dry your down jacket on a drying rack. Regularly turn it over and pat it.
