- Your jacket is protected by a waterproof coating that can withstand 15,000 mm H2O (Schmerbers). In other words? It's as if it can withstand a 15 m column of water. Suffice it to say that you can hike with total peace of mind in heavy rain.
- We conduct laboratory tests that simulate rainfall scenarios in order to guarantee the jacket's waterproof rating. This garment has been subjected to a shower test using 60 litres of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.
- The hood fits your head perfectly owing to its elastic cord that adjusts the height and riptab at the back for depth. It also has a small peak which provides efficient rain protection for your face. You stay dry, even in bad weather!
- The JIS L 1099 B1 test measures the water vapour that passes through the fabric in 24h, in grams per sqm. The higher this value is, the more breathable the fabric. A performance rating of 15,000g/sqm/24h, corresponding to a highly breathable fabric, is ideal for walking in the mountains.
- This jacket has a membrane, in other words, a very thin film coating under the outer fabric (2.5 layer construction). This technique makes the jacket waterproof, while remaining lightweight and breathable.
- This jacket has a standard cut that follows your body shape without being too clingy. It offers enough space inside to wear a pullover or fleece jacket underneath. Its design also means you can layer your clothing depending on the temperature, while retaining freedom of movement.
- Water-repellency is when water slides off your jacket rather than soaking in. This treatment can weaken over time, but don't worry! To reactivate it, simply put your jacket in the tumble drier for 10 minutes at a low temperature setting. You can also use our waterproofing spray (ref 8554908).
