With hood,
Hood fully adjustable in height and depth.
Semi-rigid visor with integrated mesh headband for a high level of protection and better support.

Sleeve cuffs cover wrist and are scratch-adjustable.
Wrist gusset for wearing gloves with the jacket.
Waterproof fabric
The waterproofness of a fabric, ensured by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm of water (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. The higher the number, the more waterproof the fabric.
This product has 2 waterproof components (JIS 1092 standard):
- A main component resistant to 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing
- A secondary component, at the top of the legs, resistant to 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing
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.
For example, the MT500 waterproof jacket protects you from stormy rain in the mountains, 450 liters of water /m²/h for 4 hours.
Breathable fabric
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (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, donc plus le tissu est respirant.
On considère que si :
* RET < 9 = tissu très respirant
* 9 < RET < 12 = tissu respirant.
Voici les valeurs de respirabilité de cette veste :
RET < 8 pour le tissu le plus léger
RET < 12 pour le tissu le plus résistant
Water-repellency information and how to reactivate water-repellency?
The product's ability to let water run off the surface. As a result, your garment will not become waterlogged and will remain light and breathable.
As a result, your garment will not become waterlogged and will remain light and breathable. Water-repellency is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but these properties may be altered with use.
Water-repellency can be reactivated by tumbling the jacket for 10 min at low temperature.
You can also use FORCLAZ water-repellent (ref. 855490).
