Men's waterproof mountain and trekking jacket Quechua MH500

Description

Designed for your mountain routes in rainy weather. It withstands downpours of up to 100 litres / m² / hour for 3 hours! What is the degree of waterproofing? With its 20,000 H2O Schmerber waterproofing, this jacket offers ideal protection to cope with changing weather conditions. Rigorously tested in the laboratory, it withstands 18 cm of rain in 2 hours, reproducing the conditions of an average mountain storm. Why is a breathable jacket interesting? Unlike classic waterproof jackets, this jacket is truly breathable thanks to its extremely breathable fabric (RET=6) and its large side openings. Result? It avoids condensation inside the jacket and keeps you dry both outside and inside during your ascents. Any information about the fit? Slim fit with raglan sleeves for maximum elasticity! This design allows you to move with total freedom during your mountain hiking routes. You can easily wear a fleece or a light jacket underneath, depending on the conditions and altitude. A special hood. This hood adjusts precisely in height thanks to its elastic cord and its fastening piece, while its semi-rigid visor protects you effectively. Advantage: A triangular side opening that improves your peripheral vision. Why a component with a membrane? This jacket is equipped with an ultra-thin polyurethane film integrated between the inner and outer layers. It blocks external water while wicking away sweat. Flexible, light and breathable, this membrane guarantees long-lasting performance and resistance for your mountain adventures. How is waterproofing measured? Waterproofing is measured in the laboratory according to the JIS 1092 standard. The fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm of water column is checked: the higher, the better! With 20,000 mm (or Schmerbers), this jacket resists the pressure of a 20-metre high water column. What is the RET index? The evaporative thermal resistance measures a fabric's ability to wick away body moisture. The lower the RET, the better! With RET=6, this jacket offers exceptional wicking. Scale: <6 = extreme, <12 = very breathable, <20 = breathable, >20 = slightly breathable. How to reactivate the water-repellent effect? Two simple methods to reactivate the water repellency! This ability of the fabric to let water slide off without absorbing it maintains lightness and breathability. Put the jacket in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes at a low temperature. What do I do if water no longer slides off the outside of the jacket? It means you need to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. After washing it following the instructions, simply put it in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes at a low temperature. This will restore its effectiveness. PRODUCT DESIGN: OUR KNOW-HOW
