vadderat

Vadderat is a Swedish adjective meaning padded or cushioned, describing objects that have been equipped with padding or insulation. The term is commonly used in consumer product descriptions and everyday language to indicate added warmth, comfort, or protection.

In grammar, vadderat is the past participle form used with neuter nouns, while vadderad is used with common gender nouns, and vadderade is the plural form. For example, ett vadderat/plagg or en vadderad jacka, and vadderade ryggsäckar. The word is derived from the noun vaddering, meaning padding or lining, with the participle suffix -at.

Typical applications include clothing, footwear, and gear designed to provide warmth or impact protection. Examples range from vadderade jackor and vadderade vantar to vadderade ryggsäckar and vadderade sportskor. Vaddering materials vary and can include synthetics such as polyester fillings, foam, eller down in down-filled items. The term can also describe upholstery, luggage, and protective equipment where padding serves to reduce heat loss, add comfort, or absorb shocks.

Vadderat is primarily used in Swedish, though related forms appear in Danish and Norwegian with similar meanings. In technical or marketing texts, vadderat signals a valuated feature—padding as a design attribute—separating padded items from unpadded ones. See also vaddering and vaddera for related concepts.
