| 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 |
