WATERPROOF OVERTROUSERS
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on JIS standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
Here are the waterproof values:
Component resistant to a water pressure of 5,000mm Schmerber - average pressure exerted by water during a shower.
The waterproofness of the pants was tested under a rainfall of 60 liters of water/m²/hour for 2 hours.
CARE FOR YOUR OVERTROUSERS
- Rinse with clean water after use
- Store dry
- To preserve the water-repellent treatment, wash as little as possible
- Wash inside out and closed. Synthetic program at 30°or 40°C with standard detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Limit the load on your machine. Double-rinse.
- Air-dry on a drying rack.
- To reactivate water repellency, tumble-dry on the synthetic program for a short time (10 to 15 min.), inside out.
BREATHABILITY OF OVERTROUSERS
RESPIRABILITÉ DU COMPOSANT
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure son coefficient de Resistance Evaporative Thermique (RET) lors d'un 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 est respirant.
- RET < 9 = tissu extrêmement respirant
- 9 < RET < 12 = tissu très respirant
- 12 < RET < 20 = tissu respirant
- RET > 20 = tissu peu ou pas respirant
