HOW IS THIS PONCHO SUITED TO URBAN MOBILITY?
Bicycle poncho with a loose fit that allows you to wear it over your everyday jacket and a 20-liter backpack.
Unisex cut with a covering surface from head to thigh.
Helmet can be worn above or below the hood, except for bulky bowl-type helmets. Adjustable hood follows head movements.
Fits in pocket: W26.5 x H22.5 x D5.5 cm.
HOW TO STAY DRY?
Even though the poncho provides excellent protection for your upper body (from head to knees), it's essential to combine it with overtrousers to protect your legs from the rain. Unfortunately, ponchos don't protect shoes, which can prove fatal in heavy downpours. The advantage, however, lies in the ease with which the rainwear can be slipped on and stowed in the bike panniers. Transform yourself in seconds!
WHAT TESTS DO WE USE TO GUARANTEE PONCHO WATERPROOFNESS?
This poncho is waterproof thanks to the strength and coating of its component as well as its waterproof bands.
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on ISO 811 standard). Our component withstands the pressure exerted by 2,000 mm of water after 5 washes. The finished product is validated by a shower test carried out in our laboratories under a rainfall of 60 l of water/h/m² for 2 hours, i.e. average rainfall conditions.
WHAT DOES STANDARD VISIBILITY MEAN?
Certified for NIGHT VISIBILITY (EN17353 standard), the reflective elements of this poncho ensure that cyclists are visible when riding at night.
The position of the visibility elements has been designed with the cyclist's needs in mind, guaranteeing visibility of 50 meters at night in the presence of car headlights.
WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE?
Enduction hydrophile (RET=<12) : limite la condensation dans le vêtement.
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, et donc, plus il est respirant. Par exemple : RET < 9 = tissu extrêmement respirant / 9 < RET < 12 = tissu très respirant / 12 < RET < 20 = tissu respirant / RET > 20 = tissu peu ou pas respirant.
