Men's waterproof mountain and trekking jacket with hood Quechua MH500

Description

Designed for advanced mountain hiking, this men's 20,000 mm Schmerber jacket effectively protects you from heavy rain. What is its waterproof rating? Face the elements without hesitation! With a waterproofing of 20,000 mm H2O (Schmerber), this jacket protects you from downpours. Sealed seams and zips, 3-layer membrane, everything is designed to keep your body dry. What is the Schmerber? The Schmerber measures water pressure resistance: the higher the value, the more waterproof the fabric. At 20,000 mm H2O (Schmerber), this jacket can withstand a 20 m water column, guaranteeing optimal protection even in heavy rain. What is membrane fabric? The membrane fabric of this jacket guarantees excellent waterproofing while effectively evacuating sweat. Designed with 3 layers, the membrane is placed between the outer and inner fabric to ensure resistance and optimal performance. What is its breathability level? The JIS L 1099 B1 test measures water vapour passing through a fabric in 24 hours, in grams per m². The higher this value, the more breathable the fabric. A performance of 15,000 g/m²/24 h, highly breathable, ideal for hiking in the mountains. Why a breathable jacket? The drawback of waterproof jackets is often their lack of breathability. They keep you dry on the outside, but damp on the inside. To avoid this, this jacket uses a highly breathable fabric and features large side openings to better evacuate moisture. What about the cut? Its fitted cut with raglan sleeves offers you optimal freedom of movement during your hiking routes. This design makes it easy to layer a fleece or lightweight jacket depending on weather conditions. Practical tip: Choose a size larger to facilitate layering. A hood with an extra detail This hood adjusts perfectly in height thanks to its elastic cord and adjustment piece, while its semi-rigid visor guarantees optimal protection against the elements. Its advantage? A triangular side opening that significantly widens your peripheral field of vision. How do you care for this jacket? Simple maintenance in 5 steps: close all zips, turn the jacket inside out and programme a machine wash at 30 °C with a small amount of special detergent for waterproof garments, if possible. Add an extra rinse to remove any residue and then spin gently to preserve its technical performance. How to reactivate the water-repellent effect? 3 effective solutions to recover optimal waterproofing: 1. 15 minutes in the tumble dryer to reactivate the fabric treatment. 2. Use our technical detergent followed by the specific reactivator (code 8914281). 3. Choose our reactivator spray (code 8938490), easy and quick to use.
