Waterproof mountain and snow bomber jacket kids 7-15 years Quechua NH500

Description

Young hikers worked with our team to create this short jacket for all winter outings: from the trails to the school playground. How will this jacket keep my child warm? We carried out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory, under conditions of walking with a weak wind (5 km/h). The comfort temperature is the calculated air temperature at which 70% of users have a thermal sensation of "light warmth". For this jacket it is -6.5 °C. However, each person has their own sensitivity to the cold. How does my jacket protect me from the weather? This jacket has been designed with a waterproof outer component that prevents water and wind from passing through. In winter, to keep your body well warmed up, you must protect your extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm and waterproof hood, elastic adjustments on the cuffs and the high collar prevent the cold from penetrating. The four pockets protect hands from the cold. How to dress properly for hiking in the snow? To dress well in winter, whatever the activity, we advise you to follow the 3-layer rule: layer 1: the technical underwear facilitates the evacuation of moisture to keep the skin dry. layer 2: the second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and allows moisture to evacuate. layer 3: the jacket protects from the weather: rain, snow, wind. Each layer must be breathable to be able to evacuate moisture. WATERPROOFING OF THIS JACKET The waterproofing of a jacket is not limited to that of its components: the assembly technique of the different pieces is also an evaluation criterion. Whether heat-sealed or stitched and subsequently waterproofed, the overall waterproofing of the jacket is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rains of different intensities. Therefore, this waterproof jacket protects you from a heavy shower: 6 cm of rain in 1h. WATERPROOFING OF THE COMPONENTS OF THIS JACKET The waterproofing of a fabric, ensured by a coating or a membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm H²0 (pressure exerted by a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric will be. This jacket has a waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard) resistant to 15,000 mm H²0 (Schmerber) before washing. What does: "Main seams taped" mean? The seams of a jacket can be waterproofed to prevent water from infiltrating through the seams. In this case, the main seams are taped: the seams of the hood, the collar, the shoulders, the armholes and the bust. Windbreaker
