Quechua Raincut women's waterproof hiking and trekking overpants

Description

Our teams have designed these waterproof overpants to protect you from a light shower during your introduction to flatland hiking. Component waterproofing of these overpants The waterproofing of a fabric, ensured by a coating or a membrane, is measured in Schmerbers or mm H²0 (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. These overpants are made with a coated waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard): this component resists 5000 mm H2O (Schmerbers) before washing (i.e. the pressure exerted by a 5 m column of water). Waterproofing of these overpants The waterproofing of the overpants is not limited to that of their components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criterion. Stitched and then taped, the overall waterproofing of the overpants is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities. Therefore, these Raincut waterproof overpants protect you from a light shower: 6 cm of rain in 1h. Overpants performance in the rain For the water-repellency of the fabric to be durable, it is advisable to reactivate it regularly. You can do this every 3 washes (thorough rinsing is essential), or after about 10 uses in the rain. You can easily reactivate water-repellency with heat: - in the tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic program) - with a hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm making 2 back and forth movements. - or iron 2 times at a temperature for delicate garments without steam. Fabric breathability The fabric is breathable: RET=12. The breathability of a component is measured by its “Thermal Evaporative Resistance” (RET). It is its capacity to evacuate outwards the water vapor produced by the body during exertion and avoid the accumulation of water on the skin. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric. RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric. RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric. RET ≤ 20: low-breathability fabric. Choose your waterproof overpants according to the type of sports exertion. Designed for walks of several hours at a max. pace of 5 km/h. During sports exertion, we sweat more or less depending on the intensity or duration of the exertion. If the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to the exertion, the vapor from perspiration condenses inside the garment. We are wet on the inside: it is not that the rain has passed through, it is the condensation of sweat vapor. Therefore, it is essential to choose the overpants according to the type of exertion. With these hiking overpants at the bottom of your backpack, you will have comprehensive protection if a shower hits. Waterproof and breathable, they are compact and pack into their own zippered pocket. Waterproofing Waterproof coating 5,000 mm H2O (Schmerbers) | Sealed seams.
