- We carry out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory in walking conditions in light winds (5km/h). The comfort temperature is the calculated air temperature where 70% of users have a "slightly warm" thermal sensation. For this jacket, it's +1.5°C. However every individual feels the cold differently.
- The waterproofness of a jacket isn't limited to just its components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criterion. Whether heat-sealed or sewn then waterproofed, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities. As such, this waterproof jacket protects you from a shower, i.e. 6cm of rain in 1 hour.
- The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerbers or mm H2O (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. This jacket has a waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard) resistant to 5,000mm H2O (Schmerbers) before washing. To keep you warm in winter you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, feet).
- The seams of a jacket can be taped to prevent water from entering that area. Here, the main seams are taped, which matches the seams of the hood, collar, shoulders, armholes and chest.
- To ensure the durability of our products, we perform tests on the selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colour fastness, resistance to repeated washing.
- Care products: spray or liquid water repellent treatment in the washing machine. To renew the fabric's water repellent-properties and optimise the garment's performance throughout its lifetime, we recommend using these products on every wash at a minimum.
- To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle: layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry. layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards. layer 3: The jacket protects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind. The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.
