RESPIRABILITY
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. Do not use fabric softener, which could damage the garment's original performance, and of course do not use bleach.
Make sure you don't fold your jacket too much when you put it in the washing machine, and 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 jacket dry completely in the open air, flat on a drying rack. Never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.
Then tumble-dry on the synthetic program for a short time, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before putting it back on.
HOW TO REACTIVATE THE WATER REPELLENCY OF YOUR GARMENT?
If, despite washing, rinsing and tumble-drying, water droplets no longer run off the surface of your jacket, we recommend "re-waterproofing" it with a spray sold in our stores.
