MAIN COMPONENT

3-layer component with membrane

MEMBRANE

The waterproofness of a product depends on 2 main criteria: its component and its construction.
This product has been constructed with a membrane.
This is a kind of very thin plastic film (made of polyurethane) which makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable.
It has the advantage of being flexible, light and breathable.

CONSTRUCTION LAYERS

3-layer construction: the membrane is bonded between the outer and inner fabrics. We use it for resistant, high-performance jackets.

COMPONENT WATERPROOFING

To guarantee a component's level of waterproofing, laboratory tests are carried out. To do this, we measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (JIS 1092 standard).
The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
This component has a waterproof rating of 25,000 mm and can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 25,000 mm water column. It is also equivalent to 25,000 Schmerbers.

WATERPROOF JACKET

To ensure the jacket's level of waterproofing, we carry out laboratory tests to simulate rain scenarios.
This garment has been validated in a shower test under 18 cm of rain in 2 hours. This test reproduces average mountain storm conditions.

RESPIRABILITY

The breathability of a component is measured by its "Thermal Evaporative Resistance" (RET).
This is its capacity to let the 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
This product has been rated at 6 RET

HOW TO REACTIVATE DEPERLENCE

A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. The fabric does not become waterlogged, and remains light and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the garment. Water repellency can be reactivated by tumbling the jacket for 10 minutes at low temperature.
You can also use water repellent (ref. 8554908).
