The benefits of a "ball fibre" synthetic wadding
The "ball fibre" wadding is a good alternative to feathers:
- it is made up of many fibres that can trap a lot of air, providing insulation from the cold
- it provides good thermal insulation even when wet
- it is easy care: machine washable
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. Please note, this does not mean it is 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.
