- What makes a garment waterproof is the coating of its fabric and its waterproof taping. A fabric's waterproofing is determined by measuring its resistance to the pressure exerted by a water column, measured in mm (test based on ISO 811 standard).Our material is resistant to the pressure from 2,000 mm of water. The finished product is approved in a shower test in the lab, we recreated the conditions of an average downpour: 60 L water per square metre per hour for 2 hours.
- This cycling PPE jacket, which is certified for nighttime visibility, comes with reflective strips and a magnetic flap on the front for riding at night. The reflective parts have been positioned based on the constraints of cycling (leaning forwards, wearing a backpack, signalling with your arm, etc.) to guarantee 360° visibility at night from up to 50 m away when picked up by car headlights.
- The 500 jacket is designed to protect urban cyclists in rainy weather. Its cycling-specific cut provides good freedom of movement and covers the lower back, arms, neck and wrists when in riding position to guarantee great protection from the cold and wind. Zipped vents under the arms to let air circulate freely. You can wear your helmet over or under the hood.
- Hydrophilic coating (RET = 12): helps the garment to wick perspiration away. To see if a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower its resistance, the more the fabric lets water vapour produced by the body escape, and the more breathable it is.
