COMPONENT WATERPROOFING
Laboratory tests are conducted to guarantee the waterproof rating of a component. To this end, the resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm (JIS 1092 Lstandard).
The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
This product's component has a 8,000 mm waterproof rating and can withstand the pressure of a 8,000 mm water column. This is also equivalent to 8000 Schmerbers.
HOW TO RESTORE THE WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES
A fabric is water repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seeping in. The fabric does not soak up water and therefore remains lightweight and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment. The water-repellent property can be reactivated by putting the jacket in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes on low heat.
Complete pocket system
This jacket has 7 pockets in total. 2 side pockets, 2large exterior bellows pockets closed with a flap and a snap button. An exterior chest pocket and an interior pocket, both closed with a zip to secure your personal belongings. An interior mesh pocket to store your gloves.
BREATHABILITY
Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET).
This is its capacity to let water vapour generated by the body during physical activity escape and therefore avoid water accumulating on the skin.
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: not very breathable fabric
This product was assessed at 12 RET
We have reduced our environmental impact on this product
This jacket optimises the consumption and weight of the main component, and use the recycle material fabric, This reduces the environmental impact of this product.
How to choose your waterproof jacket based on your practice and your sporting intensity?
During a sporting effort, we sweat more or less depending on the intensity or length of the practice time. If the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to the sport practice, the perspiration vapor condenses inside the jacket, and then we are wet inside: it is not because of the rain that penetrates, but the vapor of perspiration that condenses.
Therefore you must choose your jacket according to your type of practice. This jacket is designed for a two-hour hike at a maximum pace of 5km/h.
