Developed for regular mountain excursions, this women’s jacket with a 20,000 mm Schmerber’s rating protects you from persistent rain.
Start your hike without worrying about bad weather. This walking jacket is ideal for regular mountain hikers. Waterproof, breathable, and with a hood, it protects you in all weathers.
How waterproof is it?Reliable protection with its 20,000 mm H2O Schmerbers-rated waterproofing! This jacket uses an effective three-layer membrane, watertight seams and protected zips to create a solid barrier against poor weather. You stay dry, even in prolonged periods of rain.
A highly breathable jacketThe challenge with waterproof jackets? Keeping water out while wicking away inner moisture! This jacket solves this complex equation thanks to its highly breathable fabric (RET=6) combined with large side openings. Score: maximum wicking away of perspiration for optimal comfort.
Any other things to say about the cut?Fitted cut with 13% elastane and raglan sleeves extending up to the neckline for added stretch. A design that frees up your movements while hiking. Possible layering with a lightweight fleece jacket or down jacket. Tip: usual size fitted, or larger for more volume.
The extra feature on the hoodThe adjoining hood is adjustable in height and depth thanks to an elastic drawcord. Stiff visor for maximum face protection.
The small detail that makes the difference: a triangular opening on the side for better peripheral visibility.
The Schmerber’s index evaluates the waterproofing capacity of a fabric facing water pressure: the higher the value climbs, the more waterproof it is! At 20,000 mm H2O, this jacket supports the equivalent of a 20-metre column of water. What does this actually mean? You maintain total peace of mind, even in prolonged periods of rain.
Why a three-layer fabric?The three-layer construction incorporates an ultra-thin polyurethane lining between the inner and outer layers. Protected by a knit, it guarantees optimal waterproofing and breathability while being more flexible and lighter than a classic coating.
What is a RET index?The RET index is an indication of a fabric’s capacity to naturally wick away your perspiration towards the outside. The golden rule? The lower the number, the better the performance! Our RET=6 places this jacket at the top of the scale: <6 = extremely breathable, <12 = highly breathable, <20 = breathable, >20 = not very breathable.
How do you maintain water-repellency?Water-repellency allows water to slide off a fabric without being absorbed. This outer treatment changes with wear, but can easily be reactivated. To do this, put the jacket in a tumble drier set to a low temperature for 10 minutes, or use our re-waterproofing spray (ref. 8938490).
Any additional recommended products to go with this one?The MH500 overtrousers are the perfect complement to this jacket, offering full protection. Together they form a formidable waterproof duo that keeps you completely dry during your mountain hikes, even in the most persistent and unpredictable downpours.
Cut
This jacket has a fitted cut. The fabric is 13% elastane and the “raglan'' sleeves up to the collar give better stretchability and more freedom of movement during your hikes.A warm layer, such as a fleece or a light padded jacket can be worn underneath.You can choose your usual size, or a size above if you don't want it to be worn fitted.,
Hood
The adjoining hood is adjustable in height and depth thanks to an elastic drawcord. Stiff visor for maximum face protection.The small detail that makes the difference a triangular opening on the side of the hood for better visibility to the sides.,
Construction of the jacket 3 layers
This jacket is made up of 3 layers, the best protection there is on the market the is glued between the inner and outer component layer (hence it being called 3 layers).The is a kind of very thin polyurethane film that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable.It is protected by a mesh, and has the advantage of being softer, lighter, more robust and often more breathable than a coating.,
How to look after your jacket
This jacket has taped seams (to ensure perfect waterproofing) which are vulnerable to machine washing and may peel off over time. We therefore recommend using a sponge and water to clean any marks on the jacket, and to machine wash it as little as possible at 30آ°C, if you want it to use it for trekking for as long as possible.,
Waterproofness test
Waterproofing is measured by a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (JIS 1092 standard)The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.The component of this product has a waterproof rating of 25,000 mm, i.e. it can withstand the pressure exerted by a 25,000 mm column of water.This is also equivalent to 25 000 Schmerbers.,
Breathability test
Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET).This is its capacity to let water vapour generated by the body during physical activity escape and therefore avoid water accumulating on the skin.The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.RET ≤ 6 very breathable fabricRET ≤ 12 breathable fabricRET ≤ 20 little breathabilityOur product has a 6 RET rating,
How do you restore the water repellent properties of your jacket?
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.All the steps to restore the water-repellent properties are belowon our website,
