Perfect for cities with mild winters, autumn/spring travel, office, evening aperitifs, or simply for those who want a refined style without sacrificing thermal comfort.

RefrigiWear Technology

RefrigiWear has specialized for over 60 years in clothing for extreme temperatures. The 90/10 down/feather ratio ensures the best balance between thermal insulation, compressibility, and durability. The water-repellent treatment protects against light rain and snow, while the baffled construction prevents down migration, maintaining uniform warmth. The technical nylon is abrasion-resistant and maintains its new appearance over time.

How to Style It

Urban-chic versatility: wear it with dark jeans and leather ankle boots for a casual-elegant look, with palazzo pants and white sneakers for a contemporary style, or with black leggings and combat boots for a more edgy outfit. The mud color pairs perfectly with neutral tones (black, gray, white, brown) and creates interesting contrasts with blue denim and military green. Also perfect over midi dresses for a feminine-sporty mix.

Care and Maintenance

Washing: 30°C machine wash, delicate cycle for down jackets. Use specific down detergent (no fabric softeners, which damage the filling and water-repellent treatment). Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 tennis balls to redistribute the down and restore loft. Do not dry clean. Store hanging in a dry place, never compressed for long periods. Reactivate the water-repellent treatment every 20-30 washes with a specific spray.

When NOT to Use It

This down jacket is not suitable for prolonged temperatures below -10°C (choose expedition models with superior filling). It is not 100% waterproof: in heavy rain or prolonged snow, wear a waterproof shell over it. For intense sports activities (ski mountaineering, technical trekking) requiring maximum breathability, prefer technical jackets with breathable membranes. For temperatures above 15°C, it may be too warm.

Difference vs. Competitors

Compared to Colmar Originals or Woolrich Luxury Arctic, the RefrigiWear Long Mead W98108 offers a more modern and slim fit that enhances the female figure without the "marshmallow" effect of many down jackets. Compared to Save The Duck or Parajumpers, it guarantees superior value for money with professional technical standards (90/10 vs 80/20). The mud color is more versatile and sophisticated than classic black/navy blue, allowing for more creative combinations.

Every RefrigiWear down jacket represents 60+ years of research into insulating materials, professional construction, and attention to detail that make a long-term difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the sizing true to size?
A: Yes, slim fit true to standard sizes. If you prefer a looser fit or want to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider half a size up. Consult the size chart for precise measurements.

Q: Is the mud color light or dark?
A: It's a warm beige tending towards light brown, very versatile. It doesn't get dirty easily and hides imperfections better than light colors like white or cream.

Q: How warm is it really?
A: Tested for the -5°C/+10°C range. With a thermal base layer, it effectively protects down to -10°C. For harsher winters, consider the Long Mead Fur model with superior insulation.

Q: Can it be compressed for travel?
A: Yes, it is compressible in a travel bag. Avoid prolonged compression beyond 2-3 weeks to preserve the down's loft. Once removed, shake and allow to expand for 2-3 hours.

Q: Is the slim fit suitable for all body types?
A: The slim fit is designed to follow the body's lines without constricting. If you have a curvier physique or prefer a looser fit, order half a size up. The stretchy fabric still offers freedom of movement.
