- Anatomic designElasticated hem and cuffs, and the hood is adjustable with drawstring.
- Pockets1 waterproof zip closed pocket on the chest.
- This jacket has waterproof strips (to ensure perfect waterproofing) that are sensitive to machine washing and can peel off over time. We therefore recommend using a sponge with water to clean any traces on your jacket, and that you very rarely wash it in the washing machine at 30°C, if you want it to accompany you on a hike for as long as possible.
- The JIS L 1099 B1 test measures the amount of water vapor passing through a fabric over 24 hours, expressed in grams per square meter. The higher this value, the more breathable the fabric. A performance of 17,000 g/m²/24h, which indicates high breathability, is ideal for mountain hiking.
- The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide over its surface, without absorbing it. This way, your jacket does not become waterlogged and remains light and breathable. Water repellency is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer surface of the fabric, but with use these properties can be altered.
- This jacket is built with 3 layers, the best protection on the market: the membrane is glued between the inner layer and the outer layer of the component (hence the name 3-layer component). The membrane is a kind of very thin polyurethane film, which makes the component waterproof, while remaining breathable. It is protected by a knit, and has the advantage of being softer, lighter, more resistant and often more breathable than a coating.
- The Decathlon Standard is developed with reference to the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS L 1092). During the test, a mesh fabric is used for fixation, employing a constant pressure increase of 100 kPa per minute. This method simulates extreme rainfall and high-pressure water penetration scenarios to accurately demonstrate the true waterproof performance of the membrane. 20000mm indicates that the jacket's waterproof membrane offers good performance, making it well-suited for mountain hiking.
