Component 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 RET for the Sailing 300 dungarees is 12.
How to wash your dungarees?
To maintain the water repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended.
Close all zips and flaps, empty all pockets and then turn the garment inside out to wash it. You can wash it on a synthetic cycle at 30°C or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach. Very important: choose a full rinse cycle or extra rinse.
Water repellency
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in.
This way, your dungarees do not get waterlogged, and remain 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 anorak in a dryer for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.
How to reactivate the water repellency of your dungarees?
Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment.
We recommend that you lay your dungarees flat on a clothes rack and leave them to air-dry. Caution: never dry your dungarees directly on a radiator.
Then place 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.
