Men's Waterproof Hiking Jacket NH150 Imper, BLACK

Water resistance of the fabric

The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a is measured in Schmerbers or H20 mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.This jacket is designed with a waterproof coating (JIS 1092 standard) this component resists 5,000 mm H20 (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5 metre column of water).,

Fabric breathability

Our product's fabric is extremely breathable - 12 TERThe breathability of a component is measured by its Thermal Evaporative Resistance. This is its capacity to let out water vapour produced by the body during activity. The lower the Thermal Evaporative Resistance (TER), the higher the breathability of the fabric.TER < 9 = extremely breathable fabricRET <12 = very breathable fabricRET < 20 = breathable fabricRET > 20 = slightly to not at all breathable fabric.,

OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT

ile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce this environmental impact, we chose to use a bulk-dyeing process that incorporates the colour pigments from the yarn manufacturing phase onwards a dyeing process called Dope dyeing.This process is used on the black (code 8583189) and navy (code 8609692) colours.,

WHY CHOOSE RECYCLED POLYESTER?

By recycling plastic bottles and used

iles to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of petroleum resources while preserving the qualities and performance of the material for your outings.We use recycled polyester fibres on the green/blue/hazelnut colours (code 8583193). And on the interior fabric in all the colours of this model.,

Your health is our top priority

The fabric of this jacket is water repellent it lets water slide over its surface without seeping in. In this way, the fabric doesn't soak up water and stays light and breathable. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a PFC-free treatment to its outer surface.,

How to maintain your jacket's waterproof quality and durability

To maintain a durable water-repellent fabric, we recommend reactivating it regularly.Do this every three washes (it is important to rinse abundantly) or after a dozen uses in the rain.You can easily reactivate the water repellent property by warming the fabric- in a tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic program)- with a hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm by going back and forth twice- or two passes with an iron on the delicate setting without the steam function.,

Choose your waterproof jacket according to your sports effort

During sports activity, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity or the 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 need to choose your jacket according to the type of physical activity. This jacket is designed for occasional hiking for 2 hours at a pace of 5 km/h maximum.,

Recommended additional product

To protect the lower body as well and have a very effective outfit to protect you against the wind and showers, we recommend the men's NH500 over-trousers. These over-trousers are eco-designed. Depending on the colours, we use recycled fibres or dope dyeing processes that limit the use of water.,composition
