Kids' waterproof mountain and trekking jacket with hood 2-6 years Quechua MH500

Description

Designed for little adventurers, this Quechua waterproof jacket offers reliable protection against the elements. How is the waterproofness of the MH500 children's jacket measured? It is measured by a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (test based on the JIS 1092 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. This waterproof jacket resists the pressure exerted by 5,000 mm of water (approx. the equivalent of a 1 h downpour). To validate this, the MH500 waterproof jacket was placed for 1 h under a shower discharging 60 L of water/m²/h. This test reproduces average conditions of a mountain downpour. What is the breathability of the MH500 waterproof jacket fabric? The breathability of a component is measured by its "Thermal Evaporative Resistance" (RET). It is its ability to wick away the water vapour produced by the body during exertion and prevent the accumulation of water on the skin. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric. RET ≤ 6: highly breathable fabric. RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric. RET ≤ 20: low-breathability fabric. How is the durability of the components of the MH500 children's waterproof jacket tested? Abrasion and scuff resistance test: for example, laboratory tests are carried out to check that no pilling forms on fleece linings. Colour fastness test: the fastness of dyes is thoroughly checked to ensure they do not bleed in contact with saliva. Ageing test: continuous washing must not alter the fabric's properties, behaviour, thickness or appearance. How to wash the MH500 waterproof jacket? 1/ Machine wash (30 to 40 °C): close hook-and-loop fasteners and zips, use mild detergent. Jackets and trousers inside out. Don't forget to loosen straps and elasticated parts. 2/ Avoid folding the garment too much inside the washing machine: it could get damaged. 3/ Do not mix garment types or colours. 4/ Do not use bleach or fabric softener. 5/ Select an intensive rinse and a gentle spin. 6/ Air dry or tumble dry (minimum temperature, minimum duration).
