Product description
Seeing as how down feathers do not retain heat when wet, we use a combination of synthetic PrimaLoft® padding and a natural, white goose down with water-repellent modifications. Down feathers and synthetic insulation are strategically placed to keep you warm, whether you wear the Valbella W jacket as a standalone piece or underneath a hardshell jacket in a winter blizzard. Although synthetic insulation is used in areas that are prone to moisture (the hood, sleeve hem, collar, elbow, and armpit area) while down feathers are used all throughout to keep your body nice and warm, this jacket still remains in the lightweight and easy-to-pack category. The down material used is a mixture of dust feathers, feather flakes, and feathers, which altogether form air chambers in and between the padded structure of the jacket. Air chambers are small barriers that help prevent warm air from escaping, but also prevent cold air from entering. The 90/10 feather down ratio and 800 cu.in. fill power create larger air chambers, which in turn capture more warm air, thereby providing you with greater thermal insulation. This lightweight, hooded, packable jacket comes with its own packing pouch, so you can easily carry it with you wherever you go and keep your backpack nice and organized. The low-profile hood adapted for helmet wear is insulated with synthetic padding, so your ears will stay nice and warm. Two zipped pockets, two inner mesh pockets, and one inner zipped pocket are great for storing your keys and phone, gloves and caps, or all the little things you need for an active adventure in the great outdoors. The retractable hood, bottom hem, and ends of the sleeves with an elastic hem will keep you out of the wind and winter cold. So long as you’ve got this jacket on, you won’t be in for any cold or wet surprises when an unexpected drizzle rolls around, but it’s still always best to combine it with a waterproof jacket for maximum protection when you know for certain a rainstorm is approaching.
Technical details
- Note: We used a filling made of real and first-class natural down for the product, which has not been chemically bleached. Therefore, the dark brown feathers with a higher pigment content make up about 0.5% of the down filling. Due to the use of ultralight material, these feathers can be seen through the jacket material in lighter colors. This is a natural phenomenon, which is not a defect of the padding and does not affect the functionality of the jacket.
- Composite construction provides warmth where it is needed the most.
