What is a membrane and what is it used for?
The membrane is a very thin component applied to the inside of the cape's outer fabric. Hydrophilic, it blocks water coming from the outside and also evacuates perspiration produced by the body from the inside. To stay warm and dry, the membrane is a must.
How is the waterproofness of the cape measured?
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on ISO 811). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. For example, a component with a water resistance of 2000mm will withstand the pressure exerted by 2000mm of water (roughly equivalent to a two-hour shower).
What parts of the cape protect me from the elements?
This cape has been developed with a rigorous component and assembly that blocks the passage of water and limits the sensation of wind to help you cope with the elements. To validate its waterproofness, this cape was placed under a special shower reproducing the conditions a skier would face. We validated the waterproofness of this product by skiing in different weather conditions over several days.
What's the point of water repellency?
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. This rain cape is equipped with water-repellent components that prolong its resistance to bad weather. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but in use these properties can be altered.
How to reactivate water repellency?
Please note that the water-repellency can be reactivated. To do this, tumble dry the cape on the synthetic program for 10 to 15 minutes.
You can also use a waterproof spray (available in our stores).
How is the cape cut?
Large cut. This product is designed to be worn over your ski outfit. The hood is specially sized to fit over the helmet.
