Using the 3 in 1 system
To combine the jacket and fleece, there are loops in the collar and on the cuffs of the fleece. Inside the jacket, in the same places, there are tabs to hook onto these loops.
So jacket and fleece become one.
How will this jacket keep my child warm?
We are carrying out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory under walking conditions with a light wind (5km/h).
Comfort temperature is the air temperature calculated so that 70% of users have a "slightly warm" thermal sensation.
For this jacket, it is -10.5°C.
However, each individual has his or her own sensitivity to cold.
Polar component: Insulation through air
The fleece component's mission is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture. This air keeps the body warm thanks to its natural insulating power. It's the scratching of the mesh that traps the air.
WATERPROOF JACKET
The waterproofness of a jacket is not limited to that of its components: the technique used to assemble the various parts is also an assessment criterion.
Whether thermally bonded or sewn and then waterproofed, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rainfall of different intensities.
So this waterproof jacket protects you from a downpour, i.e. 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.
WATERPROOF JACKET COMPONENTS
The waterproofness of a fabric, ensured by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm H²0 (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher the number, the more waterproof the fabric.
This jacket features a waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard) resistant to 5,000 mm H²0 (Schmerber) before washing.
What does "100% seam-sealed" mean?
Your jacket is waterproof thanks to 100% taped seams. Waterproof adhesive strips on the inside of the garment make the seams watertight, limiting the entry of water in these sensitive areas.
We validated the waterproofness with a shower test specially designed to reproduce the conditions of a 2-hour downpour. We've also worn it in the field in all conditions to make sure it's right for you.
How can I preserve the technical qualities of my jacket?
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. This means the fabric doesn't become waterlogged, and remains light, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the garment (we recommend every wash). Products (spray or liquid) are available for this purpose in our stores.
How should I dress for snow hiking?
To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend applying the 3-layer principle:
layer 1: technical undergarments allow moisture transfer to keep the skin dry.
layer 2: the second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and moisture transfer.
layer 3: the jacket protects against external conditions: rain, snow, wind.
The whole garment must be breathable to evacuate moisture.
Windbreaker :
The fabric is made waterproof and therefore windproof by applying a coating or membrane to its inner surface. In fact, a waterproof fabric has the technical characteristics to be certified windproof. It's very important to be protected from the wind, whether you're active or resting, because it cools the body enormously.
Practical details:
2 secure hand pockets in jacket + 1 mesh pocket inside. 1 secure phone pocket inside the fleece. 1 waterproof, padded, adjustable attached hood.
Will my jacket stand up to regular use over time?
To ensure the durability of our products, we carry out tests on selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colorfastness, resistance to repeated washing. All these tests have been carried out on the component of this jacket.
