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. A component with a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 5,000 mm of water (roughly equivalent to a 1-hour shower). Impermeability is expressed in schmerbers (for example: 5,000 schmerbers). This figure is before washing.
WINDPROOF EFFECT
The fabric is made waterproof and therefore windproof by coating the inside. 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, as it cools the body enormously.
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
WHERE DO OUR JACKETS COME FROM?
Created in our international design center at the foot of Mont Blanc, in France, the jacket is then made by our suppliers in Vietnam, Ethiopia and Bangladesh.
These are partners who possess real know-how in the manufacture of our jackets, and with whom we work closely.
This relationship of trust with our industrial partners enables us to create high-quality technical products.
