Women's Waterproof Mountain and Trekking Jacket Quechua MH500

Description

This waterproof jacket has been designed to face the elements on your mountain routes with moderate elevation gain and rainy weather. What is the degree of waterproofing? Reliable protection with its 20 000 mm H2O Schmerber waterproofing! This jacket uses an effective three-layer membrane, sealed seams and protected zips to create a solid barrier against adverse weather conditions. You will stay comfortable and dry even in heavy rain. A very breathable jacket. The challenge of waterproof jackets? Keeping water out and evacuating interior moisture! This jacket solves this complex equation thanks to its highly breathable fabric (RET=6) combined with large side openings. Result: maximum sweat evacuation for optimal comfort. Any comments on the cut? Slim fit with 13% elastane and raglan sleeves that reach the collar for greater extensibility. A design that allows you to move with total freedom during your hiking routes. It can be combined with a fleece or a light padded jacket. Tips: regular size for a slim fit, or one size up for more room. The extra detail of the hood The attached hood is adjustable in height and depth thanks to an elastic cord. Rigid visor to offer maximum face protection. The detail that makes the difference: a triangular opening on the side for better peripheral visibility. What is the Schmerber? The Schmerber index evaluates the waterproofing of a fabric against hydraulic pressure: the higher the value, the better the waterproofing. With 20 000 mm H2O, this jacket withstands the equivalent of a 20-metre water column. Specifically? You can be calm even in heavy rain. Why a 3-layer component? The 3-layer construction incorporates an ultra-thin polyurethane membrane between the inner and outer layers. Protected by a knit fabric, it guarantees optimal waterproofing and breathability, as well as being more flexible and lighter than a classic coating. What is the RET index? The RET index reveals the breathable capacity of a fabric to naturally evacuate sweat to the outside. The golden rule? The lower the figure, the better the performance. Our RET=6 places this jacket at the top of the scale: <6 = extreme, <12 = very breathable, <20 = breathable, >20 = little breathable. How to maintain the water-repellency? Water-repellency allows water to slide over the fabric without being absorbed. This external treatment is altered with use, but is easily reactivated. To do this, put the jacket in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes at a low temperature or use our waterproofing spray (code 8938490). Any complementary products to recommend?
