Waterproof, Windproof & Water-Repellent Technical Fabrics
Technical Excellence in the Service of Refined Protection
At Yves Salomon, functionality never sacrifices elegance. Iconiques parkas and down jackets are crafted from cutting-edge technical fabrics, providing true protection against rain, wind, and snow—uncompromising performance and refinement.
Waterproof:
Almost all of the pieces in the collection feature fully waterproof exteriors, ensuring peace of mind in the face of bad weather, from sudden downpours to snowy gusts.
Water repellent:
Selected models benefit from an advanced water-repellent treatment, allowing drops to slide off the surface without ever penetrating the material.
Windbreaker:
The dense weave of technical fabrics forms an effective barrier against the cold, preserving a cocoon of warmth and comfort at the heart of the garment.
Iconic pieces:
- Belted down jackets in waterproof technical fabric, enhanced by luxurious fox and rabbit finishes.
- Reversible parkas combining water-repellent technical fabric and long-haired mink — a masterful encounter between functionality and opulence.
Thermal Insulation — Exceptional Warmth, Airy Lightness

- Premium Down: Unparalleled warmth with minimal bulk, giving even the longest parkas surprising lightness and superior comfort.
- Tailored Silhouettes: from short down jackets enhanced with shearling lambskin details to long coats with raglan sleeves, each piece combines generous insulation and elegant cut.

Care and Maintenance Guide
Preserving the Integrity of Technical Fabrics and Insulation
To maintain the exceptional performance and refined appearance of these parts, follow these premium care tips:
Preferred Professional Cleaning
Entrust your clothes to specialists who are fully familiar with technical clothing and luxury accessories (fur finishes, down).
Gentle Home Maintenance
Hand wash or machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle with a detergent specifically for technical fabrics or down. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Drying
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or tumble-dryer-safe wool balls to fluff up the down and prevent clumping.
Storage
Store your pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally hung in a breathable cover. Make sure they are completely dry before storing to avoid mold or deterioration of the filling.
Avoid direct sunlight to preserve color and technical processing.
Reapplication of the Water Repellent Treatment
Over time, renew the water-repellent treatment (DWR – Durable Water Repellent ) according to the manufacturer's instructions to restore the beading effect.
Minor Repairs
Quickly treat small snags or damp areas by calling a professional to protect the waterproof membrane and down filling.
Timeless Comfort, Lasting Elegance
Owning a waterproof, windproof, water-repellent, and insulated Yves Salomon down jacket or parka means choosing the perfect blend of technical mastery and couture elegance. With careful care, each piece—whether it's a short down jacket, an A-line style, or a long waterproof parka—will continue to warm, protect, and delight you for many winters to come.
