HOW IS THE WATERPROOFING OF THIS PONCHO TESTED?
This poncho is made from a waterproof coated fabric and has 100% waterproof seams.
A fabric's waterproofing is determined by measuring its resistance to the pressure exerted by a water column, measured in mm (test based on ISO 811 standard).
Our material is resistant to the pressure from 5000 mm of water. The finished product's waterproofing is checked by a shower test in our laboratories under 60 litres of rainfall/hour/sqm for two hours, which replicates typical conditions during a downpour.
WHAT DOES ‘STANDARDISED VISIBILITY’ MEAN?
This poncho is certified for NIGHT VISIBILITY (EN17353 standard), with reflective strips to make cyclists visible even at night.
The reflective elements have been carefully positioned to account for the constraints of cycling so that they guarantee visibility at 100 m at night when car headlights are shone on them.
Which parts of the body does this poncho cover?
This poncho has a unisex fit and covers you from head to knee. You can wear the helmet over or under the hood. Thanks to its loose fit, you can wear this poncho over your jacket and a 20-litre rucksack. The long sleeves cover your wrists and allow you complete freedom of movement.
Although the poncho provides good protection for the upper body and thighs, we recommend wearing overtrousers or shoe covers to protect your legs
How can I restore the fabric’s water-repellent properties?
3 ways:
- 15 min in the tumble drier (gentle programme) may reactive the water-repellent treatment it's infused with.
- Use our washing liquid for waterproof technical clothing and the after-wash water-repellence reactivating agent.
- Water-repellence reactivating spray.
