Type of Bell

Schmerber

The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerbers or mm (pressure exerted by a column of water). 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 pressure (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5-metre column of water).

Water resistance (fabric)

To determine a fabric’s breathability, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more perspiration can escape, and the higher the fabric’s breathability. 
RET < 9: extremely breathable fabric
RET < 12: very breathable fabric
RET < 20: breathable fabric
RET > 20: little or non-breathable fabric.

Fabric breathability

The fabric for this jacket is water-repellent: water slides off its surface. In this way, the fabric doesn’t soak up water and stays lightweight and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. Our water-repellent coatings are now perfluorocarbon-free. As a result, this model will be sold with a more environmentally friendly water-repellent treatment.

Your health is our top priority

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 the water repellency properties 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”)
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

How to maintain waterproofing over time

How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your physical activity.If the fabric isn’t breathable enough for the type of activity/exercise, your perspiration will condense inside the item.The jacket will feel damp inside. This dampness is not rain soaking through but condensation caused by perspiration. This means you need to choose top-layer pants suitable for your activity.This product is designed for 2-hour hikes at no more than 5 km/h (3 mph).

Choosing waterproof rain pants based on physical effort

For full-body protection from the wind and rain, we recommend the Raincut 1/2 zipper or full zipper men’s jackets.

Packaging

Wool fibres can store a lot of air and let water vapour escape, making wool an excellent choice for moisture management and thermal regulation. Wool’s ability to store and release moisture make it an insulating, comfortable material for hiking socks.

The properties of wool

The merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, then carded, spun, and finally used for knitting or weaving.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight, and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.

What are the benefits of merino wool?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend: 
- Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool). 
- Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable.
- Boot height: the height of your socks should correspond to the height of the boot: for more protection, choose higher socks.

How do I choose the right footwear for hiking in the snow?

These socks come in packs of 2 pairs of matching socks.

Pack of 2 pairs

The stretchy fabric means these socks conform to your feet and stay firmly in place. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise trying on your socks in store before purchase, and testing them before going on a long hike.

This long-sleeved rain poncho was developed in the French Alps to help keep you dry when hiking.

Backpack Compatibility

Good coverage for hikers between 157 and 173 cm (5’1” and 5’6”) (size S/M) or 174 and 190 cm (5’7” and 6’2”) (size L/XL) and carrying a 60 L (14 gal) backpack. 
Hood can be tightened with the elastic drawstring and toggle. 
Elastic cuffs help keep out water. 
Easy to get on and off with the long front zipper.

To complete your outfit, we recommend rain pants or waterproof gaiters to fully protect your lower legs. For greater breathability, the waterproof hat can also be attached to the poncho!

We measure a fabric’s resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard).
The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
Components scoring 2,000 mm can resist the pressure from 2,000 mm of water (equivalent to a 2-hour rain shower). 

Component waterproofing

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.

The garment’s waterproofing 

Our rain poncho and cape lines do not come with a waterproof or breathable membrane.
We recommend using it during low-intensity hikes to keep perspiration to a minimum.

Component breathability

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water, keeping it lightweight, warm, and breathable.Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes). All Quechua ponchos and capes have a water-repellent treatment.

Component water resistance

We recommend using a re-waterproofing product (spray or liquid)
to renew the fabric’s water-repellent properties and optimize the garment’s performance throughout its lifetime.

Care

Breast support

Adjustable shoulder straps and back (three hooks).

Adjustable

The racer back frees the shoulder blades and prevents chafing from a backpack.

Freedom of movement

The wool’s high absorption capacity eliminates the feeling of dampness.

On a scale of 1 to 5, this sports bra was rated a 3 for support. It is suitable for all medium-impact sports.
The MT 500 Hiking Bra reduces chest bounce by 29.8%. 
All our products are validated in our laboratories using our bust support test (measures the reduction in bust movement). Sports bras are evaluated and classified from 1 (low support) to 5 (high support).

How is the bra’s support measured? (Level 3 on a scale from 1 to 5)

This merino wool bra is available in the following sizes: XS, S, M, L, and XL.
It measures on the smaller side, so if you are deciding between two sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up. For help choosing the correct size, click on “Size guide” (top right of the page).

How to choose the right size

You wear your hiking and sports bra for several hours a day. This bra should therefore offer overall support rather than compression support. This provides good chest protection while offering freedom of movement.
We focused on designing adequate bust support without adding tension to the neck muscles (trapezoids).

What type of support does my merino wool bra offer?

We used an innovative process to design the removable pads. 
The pads are made using an equal mix of scraps from the bra manufacture and polyester fibre.

Eco-designed padding

We recommend machine washing your MT 500 Hiking Bra at 30°C on a normal cycle using liquid detergent.

Dry flat. Never tumble dry.
