SAILING 900 waterproof hat - Black
Store Availability
Our designer sailors have designed this waterproof hat for regular sailing in rainy weather.
This sailing hat can replace a hood, freeing up the ears and helping you to be aware. The width of the brim stops water flowing into the collar of a jacket.

This hat weighs around 100 grams
Waterproof
Approved under simulated heavy rain (100L/m²/h) for 3h.
Stability
Adjustment strap under the chin
Breathability
3-ply breathable laminated fabric (RET < 15)
TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Waterproofing 1/2
We measure the resistance of a fabric to water pressure in mm of water column (based on ISO 811 ). The higher the water pressure withstood by the fabric, the more waterproof it is.
Here are the waterproofing ratings:
Component resistant to water pressure of 5000 mm after ageing (5 washes). This equates to 5,000 Schmerber - average pressure exerted by the water during rain.
The hat’s waterproof was tested in a rain shower with 100 litres of water / sqm / hour for 3 hours.
Waterproofing 2/2
Waterproof components (water runs off the fabric)
- 100% waterproof seams
Fabric breathability
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporate resistance or RET (ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more moisture is evaporated, and therefore the higher the fabric’s breathability.
We consider that if:
RET < 9 = very breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric.
The values for the Trek 500 jacket’s breathability are as follows:
> More resistant fabric: RET < 12 (or 3621 g/m²/24 h, JIS1099A standard)
> Lightest fabric: RET < 8 (or 2972 g/m² /2
Water-repellent properties information
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in.
Your jacket does not become waterlogged and remains lightweight and breathable. The water-repellent properties are achieved with a treatment applied to the external side of the fabric, but in practice these properties can be altered.
The water-repellent properties can be reactivated by putting the jacket in a dryer for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.
HOW TO REACTIVATE THE WATER REPELLENCY:
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 put them in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e., 10Â to 15Â minutes, before turning it back the right way round. Caution: do not over-dry the garment.
