Offshore Race men's sailing boat jacket yellow

WATERPROOF

- Membraned 3-layer fabric

- A strong rain corresponds to a flow of 450 L/m2/h - (= rainfall of 450 mm/h)

- The rainfall simulator reproduces these conditions for 3*8 hours.

- Component resistant to water pressure of 10,000 mm after aging, = 10,000 Schmerber - average pressure of water during a storm

- Water-repellent components (water runs off the fabric).

- 100% taped seams.

- Central opening features a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing

EASY TO ADJUST

2-way adjustable hood with semi-rigid visor and drainage channel.

Synthetic rubber sleeve cuffs adjustable by rip-tab strips.

Adjustable synthetic rubber neck.

Adjustable neoprene waistband for a perfect fit with the overalls

BREATHABILITY

RET <15: breathable.



To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance, or RET, (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). It is its ability to allow the water vapor produced by the body during exercise to escape.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER-REPELLENCY? step 1: before washing

Close all zippers and flaps and remove any parts of the garment that cannot be washed. Also remember to loosen the straps and elastic parts and empty the pockets.

Then turn the garment inside out to wash it.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER-REPELLENCY? step 2: washing

You can wash your jacket on a synthetic cycle at 86°F or 104°F with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric softener, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach.



Also take care not to bend your jacket too much when you place it in the washing machine and do not overload your machine.



Very important: select a full rinse cycle or extra rinse to completely remove all detergent residue.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER-REPELLENCY? step 3: drying

Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water-repellent treatment.

We recommend that you lay your jacket flat on a clothes rack and leave it out to dry in the open. Caution: never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.



Then place it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way around. Caution: do not overdry the garment.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER-REPELLENCY?

If, despite this procedure of washing and thorough rinsing followed by gentle drying in a tumble dryer, the drops of water no longer run off the surface of your jacket, we recommend that you "re-waterproof" it using a spray sold in our stores.

SCORE TO COMPARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PRODUCTS

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle and with different indicators. An overall score (ABCDE) is attributed to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with one another (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).

Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labeling system.
