The waterproof component and the assembly prevent water getting in. The seams are waterproof, and the zips are also waterproof and under a protective flap. This jacket has been tested in a special shower that reproduces the conditions of the ski resorts, and in the field for several days in different weather conditions.
Water repellent jacket, like all Quechua jackets.
A fabric's water-repellent property is its ability to let water slide off its surface without soaking in. The fabric doesn’t soak up water and so remains lightweight, breathable and warm. It is made from a treatment on the outside of the fabric, which must be renewed (every 3 washes).
A jacket that provides just the right amount of warmth for a day on the slopes.
In addition to its filling, the jacket’s waterproof zips, snow skirt, collar and adjustable hood and sleeve cuffs offer better protection against the cold.
A breathable jacket to evacuate heat during periods of exertion.
The RET, or the evaporative resistance of the material (ISO 11092 Standard), is 11. The lower this rating, the more water vapour generated by the body evaporates.RET < 9 = extremely breathable 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable12 < RET < 20 = breathableRET > 20 = little or no breathability.
The 500 JKT jacket is made from a lined fabric.
This is a very thin polyurethane film that makes the material waterproof while remaining breathable. More flexible, lightweight, resistant and often more breathable than coating, which is less expensive and requires a protective lining, similar to paint applied to the inside of the fabric.

How should you dress under your ski jacket?
When skiing, we talk about the three-layer rule: A first thermal layer (ski base layer), a second layer (fleece or down jacket) and a third layer, your jacket. Adapt the second layer to suit the conditions, or take along a bag so you can take it off during the day.
How to restore the jacket's water-repellent properties?
The water-repellency of your jacket must be regularly reactivated (every three washes): over time, even if the jacket remains generally waterproof thanks to its material, it seems to start absorbing water. To do this, use a reactivating spray or a treatment reapplication product, and follow the tutorial in the customer service section of our website.
Wash and/or dry your ski/snowboard jacket: following a specific protocol, you can improve its lifespan.
Close the zips, loosen the ties and read the instructions on the label. Tumble dry on a synthetic cycle to put the fibres properly back into place. If you do not have a tumble dryer, see tutorials on our YouTube channel or customer service website.
Together with the fibre, the taped seams and waterproof membrane (10,000 mm) keep you dry. The perfect jacket for keeping you warm and sheltered from moisture when skiing!
