Men's waterproof mountain and trekking trousers Quechua MH500 black

Description

Our team of enthusiasts, at the foot of Mont Blanc, has designed these waterproof trousers for mountain hiking, to protect you from a downpour. CUT Standard cut. The interior volume allows them to be worn over trousers, leggings or shorts. Attention: it is not possible to make hems because they have side zips on the legs. MAIN COMPONENT 3-layer component with membrane MEMBRANE The waterproofness of a product depends on 2 main criteria: its component and its manufacture. This product has been designed with a membrane. It is a very thin plastic layer (made of polyurethane) that makes the component both waterproof and breathable. It has the advantage of being flexible, lightweight and breathable. LAYER CONSTRUCTION 3-layer construction: the membrane is bonded between the outer fabric and the inner fabric. We use it for durable and technical overtrousers COMPONENT WATERPROOFNESS To guarantee the waterproof level of a component, we carry out laboratory tests. To do this, the resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of water column is measured (test based on the JIS 1092 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric will be. The component of this product has a waterproof rating of 15.000 mm and therefore resists the pressure exerted by 15.000 mm of water column. This is also equivalent to 15.000 Schmerbers. OVERTROUSER WATERPROOFNESS To guarantee the waterproof level of the jacket, we carry out laboratory tests to simulate rain scenarios. This garment has been validated in a shower test under 18 cm of rain for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain downpour. HOW TO REACTIVATE THE WATER-REPELLENT EFFECT The water-repellent effect of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. The fabric does not soak up water and remains lightweight and breathable. The water-repellent effect is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. You must renew the treatment during the useful life of the garment. Water-repellency can be reactivated by putting the trousers in the tumble dryer for 10 min at low temperature or by using a water-repellency reactivator spray. Code: 8551983) COMPONENT BREATHABILITY The JIS L 1099 B1 test measures the 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 10000 g/m²/24 h, breathable, ideal for hiking. WHERE DO OUR OVERTROUSERS COME FROM? These overtrousers were created in our international design centre located at the foot of Mont Blanc, in France, and then made by our suppliers in Bangladesh. They are partners who have genuine technical expertise for the making of overtrousers and with whom we work in close collaboration.
