Tested under moderate rain corresponding to 60 L/m2/h (= rainfall of 60 mm/h) The rain shower simulator reproduces these conditions for 2 hours.
Fabric is resistant to water pressure of 15,000 mm Schmerber. Water-repellent fabric (water runs off the fabric).
The seams are 100% watertight.
Central opening features a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing |
| BREATHABILITY |
RET < 12, meaning it’s highly breathable.
To find out whether the fabric breathability, we measure its evaporative resistance, or RET, (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). It is its ability to allow the water vapour produced by the body during exercise to escape. |
| SLEEVES |
To ensure good comfort at the wrists, we’ve added an extensible element to the sleeve cuff. This will keep body heat in and reduce wind getting into your sleeves.
On the top, you can adjust the sleeve end with the adjustable cuff using the rip-tab fastening. |

- 2 fleece-lined pockets under the chest to warm the hands
- 2 spacious pockets underneath the chest pockets
- 1 inside pocket on the left-hand side |

| HOW TO REACTIVATE THE ANORAK’S WATER REPELLENCY
step 1: before washing |
Close all zips and flaps and remove any parts of the clothing that cannot be washed. Also remember to loosen the straps and elastic parts and empty the pockets.
Then turn the clothing inside out to wash it. |

step 2: washing |
You can wash your jacket on a synthetic cycle at 30° or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner, 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 thorough rinse or double rinse to completely remove all detergent residue. |

step 3: drying |
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 waterproofing spray. |
