TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
This jacket's comfort features
For your comfort, we have provided 2 zipped pockets on the sides of the jacket, and another on the chest. Ideal for carrying your mobile! We have also added a two-way zip to offer greater freedom of movement when sitting or crouching.
The jacket adapts to your body shape!
The cut of this jacket is very feminine. To adapt it to all body types, we have added a drawcord to adjust the waist. You can also tighten the back of the hood as you wish. The cuffs can be unfolded to lengthen the sleeves.
How waterproof is it?
This jacket is perfect in case of brief showers while you are hiking. It keeps you dry when the skies suddenly open up, thanks to its 5,000 Schmerber waterproof fabric and the assembly of the various parts, which are stitched and then sealed. Tested in our "Decathlon shower", it can withstand 6mm of rain in 1 hour.
What are Schmerbers?
The waterproofing of a fabric is measured in Schmerbers. The higher the number, the more you stay dry. Our jacket has a 5,000 Schmerber rating: it can withstand the pressure exerted by a 5m water column! In practical terms, it protects you from 60L/sqm/h of rain for 1 hour.
How can I maintain the waterproofing?
2 simple methods to restore the water-repellent properties of your jacket:
- Tumble dry on a synthetic cycle for 15min
- Hairdryer: 2 passes at a distance of 20cm
Repeat every 3 washes (thorough rinsing is essential) or 10 rainy outings.
