Main Material

The component isn’t the only thing that makes these pants waterproof: the assembly also makes a difference.
The overall waterproof properties of your rain pants are measured with a shower test developed by Decathlon that simulates rain of varying intensity.
The Raincut Waterproof Rain Pants protect you from small showers equivalent to 6 cm (2.4”) of rain in 1 hour.

Waterproofing

To maintain water repellency, we recommend regular reactivation. 
Reactivate water repellency after three washes (remember to rinse thoroughly) or after using a dozen times in the rain. 
You can easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm (8”), twice
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

Performance in the rain

The fabric is breathable: RET = 12.
Component breathability is measured by thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
RET refers to a fabric’s capacity to let perspiration evaporate. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.   
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

Fabric breathability

This product is designed for hikes lasting several hours while walking at a pace of no more than 5 km/h (3 mph).
How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your activity.If the fabric isn’t breathable enough for the type of exercise, your perspiration will condense inside the item.The jacket will feel damp inside.This dampness is not rain soaking through the shell but condensation caused by perspiration.This means you need to choose rain pants suitable for your activity.

The fabric is water-repellent: water beads off the surface. The fabric doesn’t soak up water and stays lightweight and breathable.
Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. It doesn’t use fluoride compounds. 

PFC-free water repellency

The waterproofing of a fabric is measured in Schmerbers or mm of water (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This jacket is designed with a waterproof coating: this component resists 5,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5,000 mm column of water).

Component waterproofing

To maintain water repellency, we recommend regular reactivation. 
Reactivate water repellency after three washes (remember to rinse thoroughly) or after using a dozen times in the rain. 
You can easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm, twice

Preserving your jacket’s performance

The fabric of this jacket is breathable: RET = 12.
Component breathability is measured using thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
RET refers to a fabric’s capacity to let perspiration evaporate. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric

RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

This jacket is designed for hiking for 2 hours at a maximum pace of 5 km/h, with no elevation gain.
During activity, how much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of the effort.If the fabric’s breathability is not right for your type of activity, sweat condenses inside the jacket.You will feel damp,not because of rain soaking through the shell, but because of condensation caused by perspiration.Choose a waterproof jacket according to your level of physical activity.

Zipper Type

This fleece sweatshirt is fitted yet comfortable. We recommend wearing a technical undergarment as a base layer for added protection from the cold. This fleece sweatshirt was designed to be layered under a windproof or waterproof jacket, such as our Women’s MH 100 Hiking Jacket. Choose your usual size.

The fleece component is designed to trap air, which acts as a natural insulator to keep the body warm. 

How does the fabric insulate you from the cold?

We perform two kinds of tests to measure the warmth of our fleece:
- a material test 
- tests on a thermal manikin in a thermal chamber We reproduce wind (5 km/h), temperature, and humidity conditions typically encountered in the mountains on a 5 km/h hike.
These laboratory tests determine the design, which is then validated by field testers. 
This fleece will keep you comfortable at temperatures ranging from 7°C to 10°C, with no extra layer.

How is warmth measured?

Our hiking fleece is tested for guaranteed durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to pilling due to backpack use and body movement
- durable seams
- resistance to washing
- colourfastness after washing, exposure to UV light, or contact with perspiration

How is durability tested?

Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie, France. 
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiasts. 
It’s the perfect place to design quality hiking products by applying our full expertise.

Ventilation

Thanks to your feedback, we improved the design of the 10 litre Arpenaz NH 50 Hiking Backpack.
We added a double zipper on the main compartment and a larger pocket bottom on the outside pocket. The aim is to not lose your belongings when opening your bag. 
And of course, the price hasn’t increased!

Your opinion is important to us!

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: the main compartment and all the pockets are filled with little balls. These balls are then emptied into a graduated container to get the equivalent volume in litres.

How is volume measured?

Put heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece in an easy-to-access location. Place small frequently used items in the pockets (sunscreen, map, glasses, etc.).

Quechua backpack: 10-year warranty

The following components were validated in the lab: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, and zippers. For example, we test the fabric’s resistance to abrasion and tearing, colourfastness, and waterproofing. We also check the resistance of the construction using a dummy that reproduces a hiker’s movements to replicate several years of wear and tear.

Tested for optimal durability

1 - Loosen all the straps (straps, belt, and load adjuster straps).
2 - Put the backpack on.
3 - Tighten the shoulder straps.
4 - Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed.

How waterproof is it?

Schmerbers measures the waterproofing ability of a fabric. The higher the number, the drier you stay. Our jacket delivers 5,000 Schmerber: it’s resistant to the pressure exerted by a 5 m column of water! It also protects you from 60 L/m²/h for 1 hour.

What is a Schmerber?
