Sizing and cut information Protection surface adapted for a hiker with a height from 157 to 173 cm in size S/M from 174 to 190 cm in size L/XL ...and with a maximum 60-litre backpack.

RECOMMENDED COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS We recommend completing the protection with overpants or waterproof gaiters to perfectly protect the legs. For greater breathability, you can also combine the poncho with the waterproof hat. COMPONENT WATERPROOFNESS The resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of water column is measured (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproofness of 2,000 mm resists pressure exerted by 2,000 mm of water (which corresponds to a downpour of approximately 2 hours). Garment waterproofness This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 litres of water / m² / hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain downpour. Poncho breathability Our ranges of poncho and waterproof cape are not provided with a waterproof / breathable membrane. To limit sweating, we recommend using these products for smooth and leisurely hiking rather than for fast hiking practices. Water-repellent effect of the component The water-repellent effect of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. Thus, the fabric does not soak up water and remains light, breathable and warm. The water-repellent effect is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifespan (we advise every 3 washes). All Quechua ponchos and capes have a water-repellent treatment. Care We recommend using a waterproofing spray or machine liquid to reactivate the fabric's water-repellent effect and optimize performance throughout the garment's lifespan. Waterproof, long-sleeved poncho developed in the French Alps, allows you to practice hiking protected from the rain for yourself and your backpack of up to 60 litres. Waterproofness Coating: 2,000 mm (Schmerber) All seams sealed. Long sleeves. Breathability Hydrophilic coating (RET=11): limits condensation in the garment. Compatibility The interior volume allows protecting a 0 to 60-litre backpack. Lightness From 340 g (S/M) to 380 g (L/XL) to carry it comfortably in the backpack. Pockets
