From premium down to varied cuts, every down jacket is designed to combine warmth, style and durability.

A palette of styles and colours for everyone

Each piece benefits from optimum thermal insulation thanks to our expertise in exceptional down.

All down jacket styles for every need

The sleeveless down jacket is the quintessential versatile piece. Perfect for mid-season wear or layering, it offers total freedom of movement while protecting your core from the cold. Our short down jackets appeal with their dynamic, modern look, ideal for everyday urban use. They pair effortlessly with all your casual or smart looks.

Mid-length down jackets strike the ideal balance between style and protection. Falling to the hips or mid-thigh, they cover the essentials while maintaining a sleek silhouette. To face the harshest temperatures, our long parkas and full-length down coats ensure maximum coverage. Their generous hoods, often trimmed with fur, add extra protection against the wind and inclement weather.

The new Autumn/Winter collection: between city and mountain

The new Autumn/Winter collection highlights the technical expertise and warmth of Pyrenex garments for modern urban living. Building on an identity rooted in the peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range, the brand reinterprets its alpine codes to take on the winter chill in the city. Our warm, breathable down jackets accompany you on both nature getaways and your daily city routine.

Iconic down jackets reinvented

Pyrenex stays true to its heritage by elevating and revisiting iconic pieces. Our flagship models benefit from new materials that are ever more technical, durable and waterproof. This approach gives them a fresh look to transcend fleeting trends and offer more thoughtful, sustainable fashion—embracing authentic outdoor roots for a timeless wardrobe.

Duck down: the filling of our down jackets

Our down jackets are filled with French duck down, sourced from Aquitaine for most models. The most common composition combines 90% down and 10% small feathers. Down—these stemless clusters—provides most of the insulation: it traps warm air between its filaments.

A down jacket's warmth is reflected in its fill power, measured according to IDFB standards. Across our range, it spans from 600 to 850. It is 750 on the Spoutnic in mini-ripstop or the John. It reaches 850 on lightweight and mountain down jackets such as the Masha, Bruce or Arial, filled with our Legend down. The higher the number, the more warmth the down provides for a given weight. When compressed, it regains its volume once released: packable models can be stowed in their bag without losing their insulating qualities.

Pyrenex technical fabrics and technologies

Our technical outer fabrics combine durability and lightness. Water-repellent coatings and treatments allow water to bead on the surface without penetrating the fabric. This waterproof protection is paired with excellent wind resistance, creating an effective barrier against the elements.

The taped seams on select models eliminate cold spots and enhance waterproofing. Waterproof zips with protective flaps provide extra security. Every technical detail is designed to maximise your comfort: adjustable cuffs, drawstrings, and multiple zipped pockets to keep your personal belongings secure.

Pyrenex expertise: comfort and quality since 1859

Each warm down jacket in our collection embodies the unique craftsmanship of the Pyrenex brand. Our mastery of natural down filling guarantees incomparable thermoregulation and long-lasting comfort. Lightweight, compressible and extremely warm, our quilted down jackets are the best investment for facing the cold in style.

How to choose the right down jacket size

Choosing the right size is crucial to fully enjoy the insulating properties of your down jacket. A jacket that is too tight compresses the down and reduces its thermal efficiency. Conversely, a jacket that is too loose creates pockets of cold air and reduces protection.

For a perfect fit, measure your chest and waist, then consult our detailed size guide. Allow enough room to comfortably wear mid-layers underneath during extreme cold. The shoulders should sit naturally, and the sleeves should reach the base of your thumbs without restricting movement. For fitted styles, choose your usual size. For oversized, loose cuts, you may opt for one size down for a closer fit.

Style your down jacket with elegance

The modern down jacket is worn with style and integrates effortlessly into any outfit. For a smart-casual look, pair a short down jacket with slim-fit jeans and white trainers. Black and navy styles remain timeless essentials that pair easily with your entire wardrobe.

Dare to wear bright colours to bring a touch of energy to your winter outfits. Red, mustard yellow or pine green instantly revitalise an understated look. For a more sophisticated style, wear a long down jacket over a midi dress and heeled ankle boots. Shiny fabrics bring an unapologetically fashionable edge, while matt finishes offer a more discreet, elegant look.

Layering becomes an art form with our sleeveless down jackets. Wear them over a shirt and under a blazer for a refined, preppy style. In the evening, a lightweight down jacket slips elegantly over a dressy outfit without compromising your look.

Pyrenex's commitment to sustainability

Our approach is rooted in responsible, sustainable fashion. The down we use comes exclusively from certified supply chains that respect animal welfare. This traceability guarantees high ethical standards throughout the supply chain.

The durability of our down jackets helps fight against planned obsolescence. Designed to endure over time, our pieces rarely need replacing and are part of a mindful consumption approach. Premium materials and quality craftsmanship ensure exceptional longevity. Proper care will keep your down jacket in perfect condition for a decade or more.

Our timeless collections focus on classic cuts and enduring colours that outlast fleeting trends. Investing in a Pyrenex down jacket means choosing a piece that will reliably accompany you season after season, thereby reducing your environmental footprint.

Frequently asked questions about our down jackets

How to choose the right Pyrenex down jacket?

The choice of your down jacket depends on how you use it and your warmth requirements. For everyday city wear, choose our short or mid-length designs. For maximum protection against extreme cold, opt for our long parkas filled with premium down. Explore our dedicated women's and men's collections to find the cuts best suited to your shape.

How do I care for my Pyrenex down jacket?

Machine wash your down jacket at 30°C using a special down detergent, then run at least five rinse cycles to leave no residue in the filling. Spin on a long cycle at medium speed. Tumble dry on low heat for at least four hours with two dryer balls, then gently pat it to break up any down clumps. If in doubt, refer to your down jacket's inner care label.

What is the difference between a Pyrenex down jacket and a parka?

A down jacket refers to a quilted garment filled with down, available in various lengths. A parka is generally a longer design with a hood, offering extended protection down to the thighs or knees. Both benefit from the same Pyrenex expertise in thermal insulation and technical materials; the choice depends on your style and the level of protection you require.

Are Pyrenex down jackets filled with goose or duck down?

Duck. Pyrenex down jackets are filled with French-origin duck down, from Aquitaine for most models, in a composition of 90% down and 10% feathers. The warmth of a down jacket can then be determined from two details on its product page: the down’s fill power and the recommended temperature range.

What does the fill power of a down jacket mean?

Fill power measures the volume occupied by a given amount of down once it has expanded. The higher the number, the more air the down traps for the same weight, and therefore the better it insulates without adding weight. On Pyrenex down jackets, it is measured according to IDFB standards and ranges from 600 to 850, with lightweight and mountain models reaching 850.

At what temperature can you wear a Pyrenex down jacket?

Product pages indicate an operating temperature range on a four-level scale: cool from -5°C to +10°C, cold from -10°C to +5°C, intense cold from -20°C to 0°C, and extreme cold from -30°C to -10°C. The Sten is rated for intense cold, the John sleeveless jacket for cool weather, and the Chinook XP for extreme cold.

How do you wash a down jacket?

Machine wash at 30 °C, followed by at least five rinses to ensure no detergent residue remains in the down.

Once dry, gently pat the down jacket by hand to separate any clumps of down.
