Kostalde Men's waterproof and breathable jacket - Black

Waterproofing:

The exclusive Novadry Acryl component is guaranteed to keep you dry even in a downpour. In the rain simulator, the jacket stayed for 4 hours under the equivalent of a 100 L/hr/sqm storm without the tiniest drop getting through the product. The component waterproofing is guaranteed to withstand more than 5000 mm of water pressure. All seams are fully taped.

Hood:

The hood is easily stored in the pocket built into the collar. It can be tightened with an adjustable elasticated cord equipped with two self-blocking eyelets to better protect you from the elements.

Protection of documents and accessories:

An inner zip pocket lets you safely store your documents and accessories.

Hand pockets:

Two big, zipped, hand-warmer pockets let you protect your hands from the wind and rain and keep your accessories safe.

Adjustments:

The hem of the jacket can be adjusted with an adjustable elasticated cord that limits water and air getting in.

The cuffs have rip-tabs so that you can adjust the tightening at the wrist.

Jacket lining:

Made using two materials (nylon and mesh), the lining has been specially designed for optimum moisture wicking by creating natural ventilation between the lining and the outer fabric.

Jacket fastening:

The injection-moulded plastic front and pocket zips are oxidation-resistant, thanks to the special shape of the teeth. It has an exterior flap and a placket that guarantees optimal waterproofing.

What is a waterproofing test or "shower test"?

Approved test where the garment is placed under a shower simulating different weather conditions. All our products are certified 100% waterproof having been tested for 4+ hours in rain of 100 L/hr/sqm to 450 L/hr/sqm depending on the product use. To put this into perspective, the highest recorded rainfall was in the USA in 1942, when 174 L/h/sqm fell over 4.5 hours (NOAA). The average rainfall in Paris is 2 L/h/sqm (www.Paris.fr).
