TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Waterproofing 1/2
We measure the fabric resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (based on the JIS standard). The higher the water pressure withstood by the fabric, the more waterproof it is.
On our long, warm sailing 300 jacket:
Component is resistant to water pressure of 15000 mm Schmerber (JIS standard). This equates to the average pressure applied by the water during a rain shower.
The anorak’s waterproofness was tested in a rain shower with 60 litres of water/m²/hour for 2 hours.
Waterproofing 2/2
- Long cut to keep you dry, even when sitting in the water
- High collar
- Injected plastic zip to prevent salt oxidation
- Water repellent components (water runs off the fabric)
- Fully taped seams
- Central opening with flap and underflap with run-off groove for optimal waterproofing
- Lycra cuff and sleeve adjustment
Water repellency
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., 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round. Caution: do not over-dry the garment.
Warmth:
The jacket is lined with 150 g/m2 quilting on the body and 100 g/m2 on the sleeves. This provides thermal protection and an incredible feeling of warmth (between -5 and -10 degrees).
The long cut provides warmth to the whole upper body.
The Lycra cuffs prevent air from entering at the wrists. A pleasing cocoon effect.
Hood
The hood does not pack down into the collar, it is attached.
Completely depth and height-adjustable hood with quilted lining (100 g/m2).
Visor to provide a good level of protection and a better hold.
The high neck effectively protects the neck.
Pockets
2 zipped pockets on the front lined with fleece, guaranteed warmth.
1 phone pocket accessible without opening the jacket. It is placed under the central flap.
1 inside pocket on the left chest with rip-tab closure
WARNING: the pockets are NOT WATERPROOF
Jacket fastening
Use of a full-length zip with waterproof outer and inner flaps with run-off grooves that provide protection from wind and water.
The two-way zip allows you to open the jacket from the bottom for greater comfort during certain movements: crouching, climbing on board, stepping over ropes, going to the toilet, and so on.
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 = highly breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric
The RET of waxed fabric is highly breathable
