TECHNICAL INFORMATION

WATERPROOF FABRIC

We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on ISO 811). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
Here are the waterproof values for the RC500 jacket: 8,000 mm before washing, 5,000 mm after 5 washes.

WATERPROOF JACKET

Not only is the fabric important for waterproofing, but so is the construction of the jacket. On the RC500 jacket, all seams are waterproofed, and we've chosen a YKK AquaGuard® waterproof zip.

COMPONENT BREATHABILITY (RET)

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 plus il est respirant.
• RET <6 : extrêmement respirant, adapté aux efforts les plus intenses
• RET 6 à 12 : très respirant, adaptée à un effort modéré
• RET 12 à 20 : moyennement respirant, pas agréable en cas d’effort
• RET >20 : peu respirant, inadapté à l’effort

MEMBRANE COMPONENT OR COATING?

The RC500 jacket has a membrane component.
The membrane is a thin, micro-perforated plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof yet breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more resistant and more breathable than a coated component.
Coating is like a paint applied to the inside of the fabric, making the component waterproof. It is less expensive than a membrane, and requires a lining to protect it.

RETRACTABLE FLAP

As you know, if the road is wet, water spray from the rear wheel onto your shorts can be very unpleasant. To solve this problem, we've equipped this RC500 jacket with a retractable flap at the lower back. It can be discreetly folded away on the back of the jacket, and is very practical when you need it.
It goes without saying that fitting mudguards to your bike will further enhance protection against splashes.

CUT

CLASSIC FIT: Fitted and comfortable. This timeless fit is perfect for long days of cycling, whether in the saddle or during breaks.

This fit is tighter than our "Relaxed Fit", but not as tight as our "Pro Fit".
