Breathability
RET<12 : très respirant.
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative, appelée RET (test basé sur la norme ISO 11092). C’est sa capacité à laisser s’échapper vers l’extérieur la vapeur d’eau produite par le corps pendant l’effort.
step 1: before washing
Close all zips and flaps and remove any non-washable parts of the garment. Also remember to loosen straps and elastics and empty pockets.
Then turn the garment inside out to wash inside out.
HOW TO REACTIVATE THE LIFETIME OF YOUR CLOTHING? step 2: washing
You can wash your jacket in a synthetic program at 30° or 40°C with your usual detergent. Don't use fabric softener or bleach, which could damage the garment's original performance.
Also take care not to fold your garment too much when placing it in the washing machine, and to limit the load.
Very important: select a thorough rinse or double rinse to remove all detergent residues.
HOW TO REACTIVATE THE LIFETIME OF YOUR CLOTHING? step 3: drying
Drying is essential to reactivate the water-repellent treatment.
We recommend that you let your garment dry completely in the open air, flat on a drying rack. Caution: never dry your garment directly on a radiator.
Then tumble dry it on the synthetic program for a short time, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it right side up.
HOW TO REACTIVATE THE WATER REPELLENCY OF YOUR GARMENT?
Despite this thorough washing and rinsing, followed by gentle tumble-drying, if the water droplets no longer run off the surface of your overalls, we recommend that you "re-waterproof" them with a spray sold in our stores.
