Water-repellency

A quality achieved by applying a hydrophobic, water-repellent treatment to the fabric. This process prevents water from sticking to the fabric's surface, thus limiting the latter's ability to absorb water. When movement is added to the equation, water runs off the fabric. This is what is meant by water-repellent. Thanks to its water-repellent properties, water does not soak into the outer fabric. The pants remain light and dry more quickly.

Windproof

Wind protection is very important because of significant chill effect that wind can have on body, whether you are active/at rest.According to "windchill" model, which measures how air temperature feels when factoring in wind and cold:at a temperature of 41°F combined with winds of 20 mph, the perceived temperature will be 32°F.If the air temperature is 32°F and wind speed is 20 mph, the perceived temperature will be 21°F.Materials used in our products help to counter the chilling effects of wind

A score for comparing products' environmental impact

Decathlon is the first French company to have introduced environmental rating. This rating has been developed with ADEME (Environment and Energy Management Agency) as well as other French companies. It allows products’ environmental impact to be assessed using a scale from A to E, A being the best score.
