For added protection:
- Double elastic drawcord tightening at the bottom of the garment.
- Sleeve cuffs covering the wrist and adjustable by Velcro.
- Gusset at the wrist to make it easier to wear gloves.

How waterproof is the fabric?
This product comprises 2 waterproof components (JIS 1092 standard):

How breathable is this jacket?
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (test basé sur la norme JIS L 1099 B1). 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 la matière principale
RET < 12 pour la matière secondaire
How many pockets does this jacket have?
This jacket features 2 hand pockets with YKK AquaGuard waterproof zippers. Accessible even when wearing a backpack.
A dedicated mesh pocket for your cell phone is located inside the right-hand pocket, to keep it securely in place and protected from falling out when you open your pocket.
What are the special features of the central opening zip?
- Full-length YKK AquaGuard waterproof zip with inner flap for wind protection.
