Schmerber

Main Material

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 at a distance of 20 cm (8”), twice
 - with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

Long-lasting 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 ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

Fabric breathability

This rain jacket has been designed for a two-hour hike at a pace of up to 5 km/h (3 mph) on flat terrain.
How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your physical activity.If the fabric is not breathable enough for your activity, perspiration will condense inside the jacket.This makes you feel damp.This dampness is not rain soaking through the shell, but condensation caused by perspiration.You need to choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity.

Choose your waterproof jacket according to the intensity of your activity. 

Wear the NH 500 Raincut Rain Pants to protect your lower body, too. Then you’ll have complete, effective protection against wind and rain.
