Waterproofing
The fabric is constructed with a 3-layer membrane, resistant to a water pressure of 30,000 mm Schmerber (JIS standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
The product has been tested under a storm rain simulator, reproducing a rainfall of 450 L/M²/h for 24 hours (3x8 hours).
Waterproof overalls
- The seams are 100% waterproof.
- A large waterproof flap is positioned under the zipper to keep you dry and facilitate water evacuation
- Large Velcro fasteners are positioned at the bottom of the legs to adjust the width of your overalls.
- The overalls rise above the chest to guarantee good waterproofing.
Breathability
To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance, known as RET (test based on ISO 11092 standard). This is the fabric's capacity to let the water vapor produced by the body during exercise escape to the outside.
To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its RET evaporative resistance (ISO 11092 standard). The lower the resistance, the more water vapor escapes from the fabric, making it more breathable.
The RET of this product is 25.
Foam reinforcements
The overalls feature foam reinforcements on the knees and buttocks to ensure your comfort when maneuvering. The foams under the buttocks are removable.
Secure fastening in cargo pocket (thigh).
Hang your gear (knife, camera, shredder, etc.) in your pocket so you don't lose it at sea! The cargo pocket on the right leg has a loop for this purpose.
Weight
The overalls weigh 1100 grams in size L.
What is water repellency and how do I maintain it?
Fabrics and fastenings are water-repellent.
The water repellency of a fabric 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 obtained by a treatment (DWR) applied to the outer face of the fabric, but these properties can be altered with use.
Water repellency can be reactivated by placing the jacket (previously air-dried) in the tumble-dryer for 10 minutes at low temperature.
How to care for your overalls
After use, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove salt. Machine wash about once a year to prevent the scratches from damaging the fabric during washing.
Dry in a well-ventilated area. Caution: never dry your overalls directly on a radiator.
If the water repellency is less effective, you can occasionally tumble dry them at low temperature for 10 minutes to reactivate the water repellency.
Enough to dry your overalls
A webbing loop lets you hang your overalls on a hook or coat rack to dry.
