What does this mean in terms of IMPERMEABILITY?
The pants are waterproof to 10,000 Schmerber thanks to their component and sealed seams. Shower-tested, the fabric is resistant to 10,000 mm water pressure after 5 washes.
Our waterproof membrane doesn't like wild vegetation (branches, brambles, etc.), so keep an eye on it when you're out in the woods!
To enhance your comfort, the pants feature a drawstring for a snug fit around the waist while running.
What can I say about RESPIRABILITY?
Il s'agit d'un composant imperméable extrêmement respirant, (RET < 6) grâce à sa membrane.
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (test basé sur la norme ISO 11092). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s'échapper la vapeur d'eau générée par le corps en activité, donc plus il est respirant. Par exemple: RET < 9 = tissu extrêmement respirant / RET <12 = tissu très respirant / RET < 20 = tissu respirant / RET > 20 = tissu peu ou pas respirant.
To be worn as a 1st or 2nd diaper?
The design team has created these waterproof trail pants to protect you from the elements, wind and rain.
For optimum comfort, we recommend wearing the pants as a second layer, i.e. over your bottoms (shorts, corsairs, tights, shorts...).
MAINTENANCE and WASHING?
Washing: hand-wash in lukewarm water or machine-wash on a short, delicate program (30°), using a small amount of liquid detergent and a low spin cycle. Do not use powder detergent, fabric softener or bleach.
Drying: hang garment out to dry in the open air.
Once completely dry, tumble dry at low temperature on a short, cool/delicate program to restore water repellency.
And in terms of FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, how do these pants look?
The pants have been specially designed and developed to support movement during running.
Move without constraint thanks to their ergonomic cut!
