WATERPROOFING 1/2
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
Here are the waterproof values:
Component resistant to a water pressure of 15,000mm before and after ageing (5 washes). This is equivalent to 15,000 Schmerber - the average pressure exerted by water during a downpour.
The jacket's water resistance was tested under a rainfall of 60 liters of water/m²/hour for a period of three weeks.
WATERPROOFING 2/2
- Semi-high collar
- Injected plastic zipper to prevent salt oxidation
- Water-repellent components (water runs off the fabric)
- 100% taped seams
- Center opening with gutter flap for optimum waterproofing
CAPUCHE
The hood can be tucked away in the collar, giving your jacket a whole new look!
Hood fully adjustable in height and depth.
POCKETS
2 zipped pockets on the front of the jacket for hands or small items
1 inside pocket on the left breast, closed with a scratch
ATTENTION: pockets are NOT WATERPROOF
FRONT ZIPPER
Full-length zip with inner flap and gutter to protect from wind and water.
Soft fabric flap at top of collar to protect chin.
RESPIRABILITY
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (norme ISO 11092). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s’échapper la vapeur d'eau et donc plus le tissu est respirant.
On considère que si :
RET < 9 = tissu très respirant
9 < RET < 12 = tissu respirant
Le RET du blouson Sailing 100 est de 12.
INFORMATION DEPERLANCE
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it.
This means your jacket won't become waterlogged, remaining light and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but in use these properties can be altered.
Water repellency can be reactivated by tumbling the jacket for 10 minutes at low temperature.
HOW TO WASH YOUR JACKET
To preserve water repellency, we recommend that you limit the number of washes.
Close all zips and flaps, empty the pockets and then turn the garment inside out to wash inside out. You can wash it on a synthetic program at 30°or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric softener, which could damage the garment's original performance, or bleach. Very important: rinse thoroughly or use a double rinse.
HOW TO REACTIVATE THE WATER REPELLENCY OF YOUR JACKET?
Drying is essential to reactivate the water-repellent treatment.
We recommend that you let your jacket dry completely in the open air, flat on a drying rack. Never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.
Then tumble-dry on the synthetic program for a short time, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before putting it back on. Be careful not to over-dry the garment.
