What does this mean in terms of IMPERMEABILITY?
The jacket is waterproof to 10,000 Schmerber thanks to its component, and its 100% taped seams and zips. Shower-tested, the fabric is resistant to 10,000 mm of water pressure after 5 washes.
Our waterproof membrane doesn't like wild vegetation (branches, brambles...), so keep an eye on it when you're out in the woods!
To enhance your comfort, this jacket features a low elastic tightening system to limit air intake if you're cold.
And in terms of BREATHABILITY?
Elle est respirante (RET < 6) grâce à sa membrane.
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 il est respirant. Par exemple: RET < 9 = tissu extrêmement respirant / RET <12 = tissu très respirant / RET < 20 = tissu respirant / RET > 20 = tissu peu ou pas respirant.
A smart, practical jacket: COMPACT POCKET EASY TO STORE
The jacket features 2 pockets for your utmost comfort, as well as an individual waterproof storage pocket (in the left pocket when purchased) for storing your jacket in your bag after use without getting your belongings wet.
an adapted CAPUCHE
The jacket has a hood with an elasticated tightening system. It accompanies head movements and prevents the head from turning on its own inside the jacket. A semi-rigid visor prevents water from running down the forehead in heavy rain.
A COL to protect you from the elements
The jacket features a wide storm collar to protect the neck and insulate the rider during long outings in the wilderness or trails in bad weather.
MAINTENANCE and WASHING instructions
Washing: hand-wash in lukewarm water or machine-wash on a short, delicate program (30°), using a small amount of liquid detergent and a low spin cycle. Do not use powder detergent, fabric softener or bleach.
Drying: hang garment out to dry in the open air.
Once completely dry, tumble dry at low temperature on a short, cool/delicate program to restore water repellency.
How do you stay dry and protected with the 3-layer technique? Trail rain jacket = Layer 3
It's important to adjust and choose your different layers according to the intensity of your activity, the terrain (uphill, flat, downhill) and/or the weather conditions. This will prevent you from getting wet.
Don't hesitate to modulate the layers during your activity and use the appropriate layering.
LAYER 1: BREATHING (transfers perspiration from the skin to the other layers)
LAYER 2 INSULATING (insulates from the cold and provides warmth)
LAYER 3 PROTECTIVE (wind/rain)
And in terms of FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, what does this jacket achieve?
