COMPONENT IMPERMEABILITY
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 garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 l of water / m² / hour for 1 hour. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain downpour.
A component with a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm can withstand the pressure exerted by (5,000) mm of water (roughly equivalent to a 1-hour downpour).
COMPONENT COATING
The waterproofness of a product depends on 2 main criteria: its component and its construction.
This product has been constructed with a coating.
The coating is a kind of paint applied to the inside of the fabric, which makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable.
It does, however, require a lining to protect it.
COMPONENT BREATHABILITY
The breathability of a component is measured by its "Thermal Evaporative Resistance" (RET).
This is its ability to let 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
Our product has 12 de RET
PRACTICAL DETAILS
Can be stored in its own pocket. Central zipped opening, hood, elasticated cuffs and waistband.
COMPONENT RESISTANCE
Abrasion and rub resistance tests: for example, we use laboratory tests to ensure that fleeces do not pilling. Colorfastness test: dye fastness is checked to ensure that no bleeding is possible on contact with saliva. Aging test: repeated washing must not alter fabric properties, behavior, thickness or appearance.
MAINTENANCE
1/ Machine wash (30°C): hook-and-loop fasteners closed, mild detergent. Jackets and pants inside out. Remember to loosen straps and elastic parts. 2/ Avoid folding garments too much in the machine: risk of damage. 3/ Don't mix garment styles or colors. 4/ Do not use bleach. 5/ Rinse thoroughly and spin gently. 6/ Tumble dry or tumble dry (minimum temperature, minimum time).
