What is the waterproofing rating of the fabrics used?
This jacket has two waterproof components (norm JIS L 1092):
- Main component resistant to 25,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing
- A secondary component resistant to 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing.
What is the breathability rating of this jacket?
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the JIS L 1099 B1 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher the fabric's breathability
How does this jacket provide optimal protection?
This hybrid jacket combines two fabrics:
- A durable and protective fabric (155 g/m2; 70 denier) on the areas to be protected from friction (shoulders, outside of the sleeves, bottom of the garment at the front and back)
- A light and breathable fabric (102 g/sqm; 20 denier) on the rest of the jacket.
This asymmetric jacket is made from a slightly longer back than the front, ensuring maximum protection in all your movements, when in action or bivouacking.
How has this jacket been designed to withstand bad weather?
As waterproofing isn’t limited to the fabric used, we also guarantee that the assembly of the parts doesn’t let water through.
For increased protection:
- Quick double tightening with elastic drawcord at the bottom of the garment.
- Velcro-adjustable sleeve cuffs covering the wrist.
- Gusset at the wrist to make it easier to wear gloves.
- Watertight zip
- Sealed and heat-sealed seams

How many pockets does this jacket have?
