WATERPROOFING

- Heavy rain corresponds to a rate of 100 L/sqm/hr - (= rainfall of 100 mm/hr) - The rain simulator reproduces these conditions for 3 hours. - Component resistant to water pressure of 5000mm after ageing (= 5000 Schmerber - average pressure of water during a storm) - Water repellent components (water runs off the fabric). - 100% taped seams. - Central opening features a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing - Two-layer membrane fabric

BREATHABILITY

RET <12: very breathable. To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance, or RET, (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). It is its ability to allow the water vapour produced by the body during exercise to escape.

COMFORT

- Two-way adjustable hood. - Adjustable jacket hem.

REFLECTIVE

- 2 shoulder patches intensifying light sources.

RESISTANCE TO WEAR

- Injected plastic central zip resistant to salt oxidation.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY step 1: before washing

Close all zips and flaps and remove any parts of the garment that cannot be washed. Also remember to loosen the straps and elastic parts and empty the pockets. Then turn the garment inside out to wash it.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY step 2: washing

You can wash your jacket on a synthetic cycle at 30 or 40C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach. Also take care not to bend your jacket too much when you place it in the washing machine and do not overload your machine. Very important: select a thorough rinse or double rinse to completely remove all detergent residue.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY step 3: drying

Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment. We recommend that you lay your jacket flat on a clothes rack and leave it out to dry in the open. Caution: never dry your jacket directly on a radiator. Then place it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET'S WATER REPELLENCY

If, despite this procedure of washing and thorough rinsing followed by gentle drying in a tumble dryer, the drops of water no longer run off the surface of your jacket, we recommend that you "re-waterproof" it using a waterproofing spray.

Score to compare the environmental impact of products

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators. An overall score (ABCDE) is attributed to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with one another (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labelling scheme. For more information, visit: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
