THERMAL INSULATION FROM SYNTHETIC WADDING
Quechua uses 90% recycled wadding for this padded jacket.
The wadding filling has 3 appealing qualities for hiking:
- it had good thermal insulation even when damp
- it provides breathability
- compressible
WATER REPELLENCY
Water-repellency is a feature obtained by applying a treatment that prevents water from adhering to the surface of the fabric.
It "slides off" without being absorbed, so the garment remains light, breathable and warm. Be careful: this does not mean it’s waterproof.
This treatment can be repeated to keep all its effectiveness. Use sprays that are applied to the outside, rather than additives used when washing the garment, which can damage the product's breathability
