Men's Waterproof Windbreaker Sailing 300

Description

This men's sailing jacket has been designed for coastal sailing in rain, cold and wind. What is the level of waterproofing? The resistance of a fabric is measured by subjecting it to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (JIS standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric is. Component resistant to a water pressure of 15,000 mm Schmerber (JIS standard). Waterproofing of the jacket tested under a rainfall of 60 litres of water/m²/hour for 2 hours. Features of the jacket Compared to our 100 jacket, the 500 jacket: - has a more waterproof (15,000 Schmerbers) and more stretchable component - velcro closure on the wrists - inner flap with water drainage - hood that stows in the collar and is adjustable in depth - additional outer chest pocket Breathability of the component To know if a fabric is breathable, we measure its resistance to evaporation or RET (ISO 11092 standard). The lower the resistance, the more water vapour the fabric will let through and, therefore, the more breathable it will be. It is considered that if: RET < 9 = very breathable fabric; 9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric. The RET of this jacket is 16. Hood and collar The hood stows in the collar. The collar closes with plastic press studs to avoid oxidation caused by salt. The hood is fully adjustable in height and depth: adjustment at the back of the hood and at the neckline. The high collar, which reaches the chin, effectively protects the lower part of the face. Collar height (back): 9 cm. Sleeve cuffs The cuffs are adjusted using a velcro strap. It allows you to adjust the sleeve to the length of the arm, but also to limit the entry of air and water. To take off the jacket more easily, do not forget to open the velcro. Front zip Full zip with inner protective flap to ensure greater waterproofing. Soft fabric flap at the top of the collar to limit chin irritation. Injected plastic zip to avoid salt oxidation. Pockets 2 pockets on the front of the jacket to store a VHF, a rigging knife, a hat... Injected plastic zip closure to avoid salt oxidation. 1 outer pocket on the left chest to store your phone or other items, with a zip. 1 inner pocket on the right chest with velcro closure. The pockets are not waterproof! Information about the water-repellent effect The water-repellent effect of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. In this way, your jacket does not absorb water and remains light and breathable. The water-repellent effect is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but this property can be altered with use. How to wash the jacket?
