Waterproofing 1/2
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.
On our long sailing jacket 300 Warm:
Component resistant to a water pressure of 15000mm Schmerber (JIS standard). This is equivalent to the average pressure exerted by water during a downpour.
The jacket's waterproofness has been tested under a rainfall of 60 liters of water/m²/hour for 2 hours.
Waterproofing 2/2
- Long cut to keep you dry, even when sitting in the water
- High collar
- Injected plastic zipper to prevent salt oxidation
- Water-repellent components (water runs off the fabric)
- 100% taped seams
- Center opening with flap and gutter flap for optimum waterproofing
- Lycra sleeve cuff and sleeve clamp
Water-repellent
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it.
This means your jacket won't become waterlogged, remaining light and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but in use these properties can be altered.
Water repellency can be reactivated by tumbling the jacket in a tumble dryer for 10 minutes at low temperature.
How do I reactivate water repellency?
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. Be careful not to over-dry the garment.
Heat :
The jacket is lined with 150g/m2 wadding on the body and 100g/m2 on the sleeves. This provides thermal protection and an incredible feeling of warmth (between -5 and -10 degrees).
The long cut provides warmth all over the upper body.
Lycra sleeves protect the cuffs from air ingress. A popular cocoon effect.
Hood
The hood is not stored in the collar, but is attached to it.
Hood fully adjustable in height and depth and lined with wadding (100g/m2).
Visor for a good level of protection and better support.
The high collar effectively protects the neck.
Pockets
2 front zipped pockets lined with fleece, guaranteed warmth.
1 phone pocket accessible without opening the jacket. It is located under the central flap.
1 inside pocket on the left breast, closed with a Velcro fastening
ATTENTION: pockets are NOT WATERPROOF.
Jacket fastening
Full-length zipper with a padded outer flap and inner gutter for protection from wind and water.
Double slider allows the jacket to be opened from the bottom for ease of movement: crouching, climbing aboard, straddling ropes...
Breathability
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (norme ISO 11092). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s’échapper la vapeur d'eau et donc plus le tissu est respirant.
On considère que si :
RET < 9 = tissu très respirant
9 < RET < 12 = tissu respirant
Le RET de la veste Sailing 100 est respirante
