TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Waterproof jacket
The fabric of this jacket has a waterp rating of 2000mm
This jacket has been validated in a shower test under 60l of water/m²/h for 1hit protects you from a small downpour, i.e. 6cm of rain in 1h
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard)The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabricA component with a waterp rating of 2,000 mm withstands the pressure exerted by a 2,000 mm water column
How to maintain your jacket’s waterproof properties and durability
To maintain a durable 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 programme) - with a hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm by going back and forth twice
- or two back and forth motions with an iron on the delicate setting without the steam function.
Breathability
Our product's fabric is extremely breathable - 12 TER
The breathability of a component is measured by its "Thermal Evaporative Resistance". This is its capacity to let out water vapour produced by the body during activity. The lower the Thermal Evaporative Resistance (TER), the higher the breathability of the fabric.
TER < 9 = extremely breathable fabric
RET <12 = very breathable fabric
RET < 20 = breathable fabric
RET > 20 = slightly to not at all breathable fabric.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR WATERPROOF JACKET ACCORDING TO YOUR ACTIVITY AND YOUR SPORTING EFFORT
This rain jacket has been designed for a 2h hike at a pace of 5 km/h max., without elevation gain
During 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 rain jacket according to your type of physical activity
