Men's Cycling Rain Jacket Triban RC 500

Description

Our road cycling enthusiast team has developed this waterproof jacket for riding in rainy or windy weather in total comfort. FABRIC WATERPROOFNESS The water resistance of a fabric is measured by a water column pressure expressed in mm (test based on ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Waterproofness values of the RC500 jacket: 8000 mm before washing, 5000 mm after 5 washes. JACKET WATERPROOFNESS In addition to the fabric, the construction of the jacket is also important to guarantee the waterproofness of the product. All seams of the RC500 jacket are sealed. In addition, we have chosen a YKK AquaGuard® waterproof zipper. COMPONENT BREATHABILITY (RET) To know if a fabric is breathable, its evaporative resistance RET is measured (test based on ISO 11092 standard). The lower the resistance, the more water vapour generated by the active body is released by the fabric, and therefore the more breathable it is. • RET<6: extremely breathable, for the most intense efforts • RET 6 to 12: very breathable, for moderate effort • RET 12 to 20: moderately breathable, not comfortable in case of effort • RET>20: poorly breathable, not suitable in case of effort MEMBRANE OR COATING COMPONENT? The RC500 jacket has a membrane component. The membrane is like a very thin microperforated plastic film (PU), which makes the component waterproof and breathable at the same time. The advantage is that it is more flexible, lighter, more resistant and more breathable than a coated component. The coating is similar to a paint applied to the inside of the fabric, which makes the component waterproof. It is cheaper than a membrane and requires a lining to protect it. FOLDABLE FLAP If the road is wet, water splashes from the rear wheel onto your bib shorts can be very annoying, as we well know. To solve this problem, we have equipped the RC500 jacket with a foldable flap in the lumbar area. This flap can be discreetly folded into the back of the jacket and will be very practical when you need it. Of course, if you install mudguards on the bicycle, you will further reinforce protection against splashes. CUT CLASSIC FIT: snug and comfortable. This timeless cut is perfect for long days on the bike, whether while riding or during breaks. This cut is tighter than our "Relaxed Fit", but less snug than our "Pro Fit". This jacket uses a waterproof, breathable and stretch membrane component for optimal comfort during rides in the rain. Foldable flap: protects against water splashes Waterproofness The 8000 mm water column membrane protects from rain. Breathability The fabric promotes sweat wicking (RET value of 7.8) Stretch
