TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
WATERPROOFING of the Tribord dinghy/catamaran sailing anorak:
This windproof jacket was laboratory tested under a shower of 60 litres of water / m² / hour for 3 hours, which corresponds to fine, steady rain or a medium downpour.
This test demonstrates that the water does not pass through either the sealed seams or the fabric. The adjustments and fabrics at the extremities (neck, waistband and cuffs) prevent water getting in while in a static position and greatly reduce it during physical exertion.
Adjustments of the Tribord S100 dinghy/catamaran sailing anorak: NECK FASTENING
The neck is fastened by zip only, which can go up over the mouth to shelter the user from wind and spray.
Adjustments of the Tribord S100 dinghy/catamaran sailing anorak: WAISTBAND AND WRISTS
For more waterproofing, less wind entry and greater freedom of movement:
*the belt and cuffs have elasticated sections on both sides
POCKET of the Tribord S100 dinghy/catamaran sailing anorak:
The positioning of the pocket is located according to 50N buoyancy vests, to remain accessible during the practice of the sport.
The size of the pocket was designed so as not to be cumbersome or too heavy in order to not hinder manoeuvres or movement.
Its design and tests were therefore carried out to contain a snack of 2 cereal bars.The contents remain stable in the pocket and remain accessible.
The anorak can be rolled up into its pouch for storage
Tips for storage and maintenance
Storage tips
Leave out to dry away from direct sunlight then store in a dry place. Once dry, it can be rolled up into a ball and stored in its pouch.
