COMPONENT IMPERMEABILITY
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on JIS 1092 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 l of water / m² / hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain shower.
A component with a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm can withstand the pressure exerted by 5,000 mm of water (roughly equivalent to a 2-hour shower).
COMPONENT BREATHABILITY
The breathability of a component is measured by its "Thermal Evaporative Resistance" (RET).
This is its ability to let water vapor produced by the body during exertion escape to the outside, thus preventing the accumulation of water on the skin.
The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric.
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: not very breathable fabric
Our product has 12 de RET
COMPONENT DEPERLANCE
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. This means the fabric doesn't soak up water, remaining light, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes).

PRODUCT DESIGN: OUR EXPERTISE
Our worldwide design center Quechua is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers...) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
A great asset for designing your mountain hiking products, and for providing you with all our expertise.
WHERE DO OUR PANTS COME FROM?
Created in our international design center at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, these pants are then made by our suppliers in Vietnam and Bangladesh.
These are partners with real know-how in the manufacture of our pants, with whom we work closely.
