Design details

Want to know more about the wadding?

We use 100% polyester 125 g/m2 wadding. The wadding is made from silicone-coated spiral fibres that make it highly compressible and highly durable. Despite its low thickness, it has high insulation properties thanks to the air trapped inside, and remains lightweight. It retains its warmth even when wet.

Durable materials

This polyamide fabric uses 20 denier threads (measurement unit of the thread) and can withstand up to 20,000 abrasion cycles. Martindale test, Standard 12947-2. Outer: 100% polyamide fabric 39g/m2, 20 denier Lining: 100% polyamide fabric 35 g/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 MT100 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 replacing the PFCs with other technologies that we are developing to enable the same level of performance, we are helping to reduce this environmental impact.

How to restore the 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. This renews the fabric’s water repellent properties and optimises its performance throughout the lifespan of your garment.

How to repair a gilet

A tear on a padded gilet can happen when trekking! The good news is that it can be repaired with a patch so the tear doesn’t get any bigger or to stop the synthetic fibres from getting out. Don't you feel at ease carrying out this repair yourself? Don't worry! Some of our in-store Decathlon workshops offer a repair service to mend your padded gilet using a heat-bonded patch.
