MAIN COMPONENT

3-layer component with membrane

MEMBRANE

The waterproofness of a product depends on 2 main criteria: its component and its construction.
This product has been constructed with a membrane.
This is a kind of very thin plastic film (made of polyurethane) which makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable.
It has the advantage of being flexible, light and breathable.

CONSTRUCTION LAYERS

3-layer construction: the membrane is bonded between the outer and inner fabrics. We use it for tough, high-performance overtrousers.

COMPONENT IMPERMEABILITY

To guarantee a component's level of waterproofing, laboratory tests are carried out. To do this, 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 component has a water resistance of 15,000 mm and therefore resists the pressure exerted by 15,000 mm water column. It is also equivalent to 15000 Schmerbers.

OVERPANTS WATERPROOFING

To ensure the jacket's level of waterproofing, we carry out laboratory tests to simulate rain scenarios.
This garment has been validated in a shower test under 18 cm of rain in 2 hours. This test reproduces average mountain storm conditions.

HOW TO REACTIVATE DEPERLENCE

A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. The fabric does not become waterlogged, and remains light and breathable. 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. Water repellency can be reactivated by tumble-drying for 10 minutes at low temperature, or by using a water-repellency reactivating aerosol.( Ref : 8551983)

COMPONENT BREATHABILITY

The breathability of a component is measured by its "Thermal Evaporative Resistance" (RET).
This is its capacity to let the 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
This product has been rated at 8 RET

WHERE OUR PNATALONS COME FROM

Created in our international design center at the foot of Mont Blanc, in France, these overtrousers are then made by our suppliers in Bangadesh.
These are partners with real know-how in the manufacture of overtrousers, with whom we work closely.
This relationship of trust with our industrial partners enables us to create high-quality technical products.

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 providing you with all our expertise.

TESTS

All our models are tested by representative users under conditions identical to those you would encounter yourself in use. Our laboratory Decathlon Sportslab, based in Lille, also contributes to the innovation and development of our products Quechua.
It groups together 4 themes, each with its own space and technological tools:
Morphology (in particular thanks to 3D analysis)
Movement sciences
Thermal comfort (with its four climate chambers)
Compo

Approved by

To meet your requirements, Quechua products are tested in the mountains, in the conditions you may encounter on your hikes.
Our teams, as well as a panel of testers (partners, ambassadors and customers) test our products from development to marketing.
