Sizing and fit information
Standard cut. The inner volume allows you to wear it over a warm 2nd layer such as a sweater.
Hood
The height is adjustable using an elastic drawstring + toggles.
Adjustable depth using a velcro strip positioned at the back. A visor at the top of the hood protects your face.
Removable hood.
Pocket system
2 zipper hand pockets with flaps.
1 zipper inside pocket for a wallet.
Protection
Jacket bottom: Adjustable with elastic drawstring and toggles.
Cuffs: Velcro strips.
Main component
2-layer coated component with mesh lining
Membrane or coating
- A coating is like a paint applied to the inside of the fabric to make it waterproof while remaining breathable. It's often less expensive than a membrane and must be protected by a lining.
- A membrane is a very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the material waterproof while remaining breathable. It's more flexible, lighter, more durable, and often more breathable than a coating.
Jacket structure with a membrane
- 3 layers: The membrane is glued between the outer and inner fabric. Used for tough, high-performance jackets
- 2.5 layers: The membrane is glued under the outer fabric and protected on the inside with a thin film. Used for lightweight jackets
- 2 layers: the membrane is glued only to the outer fabric; the inner protective lining is separate. Used for comfortable jackets
Component waterproofing
The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is expressed in terms of the height in mm of a water column (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a 5000 mm waterproof rating can withstand the pressure of a 5000 mm column of water. This is also equivalent to 5000 Schmerber.
Jacket water resistance
This garment was validated in a shower test under 60 L of water/m²/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces average rain shower conditions in the mountains.

Component breathability
To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more sweat generated by physical activity can escape, and the higher the fabric's breathability.For example:
RET ≤ 3 = extremely breathable fabric
RET ≤ 6= very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12= breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20 = low breathability
Restoring water repellency
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. This keeps the fabric from getting soaked, so it stays light, breathable, and warm. Water repellency is achieved by applying a treatment to the outer surface of a fabric. It needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes).

A score for comparing products' environmental impacts
The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire life cycle using various indicators. An overall score from A to E helps you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon is committed to displaying its products' environmental information.
