Working towards more environmentally-friendly dyes

Our teams work on finding innovative processes that reduce the use or pollution of water during manufacturing. The “dope dyeing�? technique (mass dyeing) saves up to 60% water and significantly reduces CO?� emissions. As such, it allows for a more sustainable clothes dyeing.For this jacket, we began this process on the main fabric in navy blue and on the khaki lining, with other colours to follow using this technique.

A score for comparing products' environmental impact

On a scale of A to E, this jacket obtained a score of B. Our products' environmental impacts are calculated over their entire life cycle. A score is given to each product so that you can easily identify the more eco-friendly products within a particular family (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks).Decathlon is a voluntary supporter of this environmentally-friendly labelling approach.

Complete pocket system

The jacket has seven pockets in total! Two side pockets for warming your hands. Two large external bellows pockets with a flap and press stud closure. One outer chest pocket and one inside pocket with zip closing to secure your personal belongings. One inner mesh pocket, to keep your gloves for example, and keep them warm against your body!s4

Waterproofing of the garment

The garment passed a shower test under 60 litres of water/sqm/hour for two hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower. The fabric of this jacket is water repellent, i.e. water runs off its surface without getting absorbed. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. What's more, all the seams are taped.s5

How to maintain the waterproof property of your jacket over time

In order to maintain good waterproofing over time, the fabric's water-repellent properties must be restored regularly. We recommend doing this every three washes or after a dozen uses in the rain. The waterproof property is easily reactivated by warming the fabric either in your tumble dryer or with a hair dryer, for example, over a relatively short period. If you are washing it, it must be thoroughly rinsed.s6

Waterproof rating expressed in mm or schmerber

We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 2,000 mm can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by a 2,000 mm water column.s7

Technical hood

The height of the hood can be adjusted using a drawstring. Its depth can be adjusted using a Velcro strip located at the back of the hood. The hood has a shape-memory visor that provides good protection for your face.s8

Component breathability

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its thermal evaporative resistance coefficient (RET) based on the ISO 11092 standard. The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity can escape, and the higher the fabric's breathability.- RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric- 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric- 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric- RET > 20 = little or no breathabilitys9

How to choose your waterproof jacket according to your activity and your sporting effort?

During sports activity, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity/duration of the physical effort. If the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to your type of physical activity, the perspiration vapour condenses inside the jacket. You will feel damp inside this is not rain coming through, but perspiration vapour condensing. You therefore need to choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity. This jacket is designed for 2h hiking at a max. speed of 5 km/h.0

Technical linings

The lining of the jacket is composed of two mesh in the back for superior breathability and nylon at the hips for freedom of movement and resistance to abrasion. On the hood, we added a peach skin fabric that is soft to the touch for more comfort.1
