WATERPROOFING MEANS :
- A DEPERLANT TREATMENT
A fluorine-free chemical recipe placed on the surface of the fabric, which allows water to slide off the surface of the component. This treatment can be reactivated by the action of heat (use of tumble dryer - gentle program 10').
- A WATERPROOF ASSEMBLY
The aim is to prevent water penetrating through seam holes by using sealing strips placed under the seams.
- A WATERPROOF COMPONENT
A fabric's ability to prevent water penetration.
WATERPROOFING MEASUREMENT
Impermeability is measured in Schmerber or mmH2O (pressure exerted by a column of water).
A component with a value of 10,000 mm will withstand 10 meters of water.
The higher the number, the more impermeable the fabric.
NIGHT VISIBILITY
This PPE-certified jacket to standard NF EN17353 enables cyclists to move around at night, thanks to the standardized reflective bands encircling the arms and torso.
The position of the visibility elements has been designed to take account of the cyclist's constraints (leaning forward, wearing a backpack, directional signalling with the arm, etc.), guaranteeing 360° visibility at a distance of 50 m at night in the presence of car headlights.
CUT ADAPTED TO THE CYCLIST
Its slim elasticated cut covers the lower back, arms, neck and wrists while on the bike to provide excellent protection.
Ribbed finish to prevent air ingress.
Side openings under the arms for good ventilation.
Equipped with 2 hand pockets and 1 outside chest pocket with zip closure for added security.
The hood can be stored in the collar and worn over the helmet or without a helmet in pedestrian mode.
COMPONENT BREATHABILITY
Enduction hydrophile (RET=12) : limite la condensation dans le vêtement. 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, et donc, plus il est respirant. Par exemple : RET < 9 = tissu extrêmement respirant / 9 < RET < 12 = tissu très respirant / 12 < RET < 20 = tissu respirant / RET > 20 = tissu peu ou pas respirant.
