TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What cut does this jacket have?
Fitted cut and raglan sleeves offering great freedom of movement when hiking. Perfect for popping under a warm layer, like a fleece or a down jacket, to stay comfortable whatever the weather. To do so, go for a size up.
What about the hood?
The hood height can be adjusted using an elastic cord and a drawstring. Built-in semi-rigid visor for optimal protection. Little extra: Triangular side opening to improve lateral visibility.
How waterproof is it?
Take on wet weather with confidence! With its 20,000mm H2O (Schmerbers) waterproof rating, this jacket protects you from heavy rain showers. Taped seams and waterproof zips, a 3-layer membrane… everything has been designed to keep you dry.
What are Schmerbers?
The Schmerber measures the resistance to water pressure: the higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. With a rating of 20,000mm H2O (Schmerbers), this jacket can withstand a water column of 20m and guarantees optimal protection, even in heavy rain.
What is a membrane fabric?
The jacket's membrane fabric guarantees excellent waterproofing whilst effectively wicking away sweat. Made up of 3 layers, the membrane is placed between the outer and inner fabrics for optimal durability and performance.
Why choose a breathable jacket?
The drawback of waterproof jackets is often their lack of breathability. They keep you dry on the outside, but trap humidity inside. To avoid this, our jacket uses a breathable fabric and has large side openings for better moisture management.
What is a RET index?
Breathability is measured by Thermal Evaporative Resistance (RET). The lower the number, the more breathable the fabric:
- RET < 6: very breathable
- RET ≤ 12: breathable
- RET ≤ 20: low breathability
With a RET of 6, this jacket offers excellent sweat management."
How to look after your jacket
Do up the zips, turn the jacket inside out and machine-wash it at 30°C. Use a small amount of detergent (preferably one for waterproof clothing) and run a second rinse cycle to remove any residue. Gently wring out to protect the jacket.
How to restore the water-repellent properties?
3 methods:
- Dry the jacket for 15 minutes in a tumble dryer. This can reactivate the fabric's water-repellent treatment.
- Use our detergent for technical products then apply the water repellency reactivator.
- Use the water repellency reactivator spray
