Our team has designed this long waterproof jacket for your occasional hikes in light rain, on the plains.
Water repellent without PFC
The fabric of this jacket is water repellent: it lets water slide over its surface without seeping in. In this way, the fabric doesn’t soak up water and stays light and breathable.The water-repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior: It doesn't use fluoride compounds
Waterproofing of the component of this jacket
The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a membrane is measured in Schmerbers or H20 mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.This jacket is designed with a waterproof coating (JIS 1092 standard): this component resists 5,000 mm H20 (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5 metre column of water).
Performance of your jacket
To maintain a water-repellent fabric, we recommend reactivating it regularly.Do this every three washes (it is important to rinse abundantly) or after a dozen uses in the rain.You can easily reactivate the water repellent property by warming the fabric:- in a tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic program)- with a hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm by going back and forth twice- or two passes with an iron on the delicate setting without the steam function.
Fabric breathability
The fabric of this jacket is breathable: RET = 12.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 fabricRET ≤ 12: breathable fabricRET ≤ 20: little or no breathability
Choose your waterproof jacket according to your sports effort
This jacket is designed for hiking for 2h at a max. pace of 5 km/h, with no elevation gainDuring sports activity, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity/duration of the physical effortIf the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to your type of physical activity, the perspiration vapour condenses inside the jacketYou will feel damp inside:It is not rain coming through but perspiration vapour condensingChoose a waterproof jacket according to your level of physical activity
Available from XS to 3XL
Our priority? That our hiking clothes fit all body shapes and figures! So that everyone who wants to can enjoy hiking trails in complete comfort. That's why this jacket is available from XS to 3XL.
