Bleaching excluded.

We measure a fabric’s resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure a fabric can withstand, the more waterproof it is.
Waterproofing ratings:
Component resistant to water pressure of 5000 mm before and after ageing (5 washes). This is equal to 5,000 Schmerber (the average pressure exerted during rainfall).
The anorak's waterproofness was tested in a rain shower with 60 litres of water/m²/hour for 2 hours.

Waterproofing 1/2

- High collar
- Injection-moulded plastic to avoid salt oxidation
- Water-repellent components (water runs off the fabric)
- 100% taped seams
- Central opening features a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing

Waterproofing 2/2

The hood is attached and doesn’t stow into the collar.
Height- and depth-adjustable.
The hood visor and headband provide good coverage and a better hold.
The high collar protects your neck.

Hood

Features 2 front zip pockets and 1 inner right chest pocket with a rip-tab closure. Note: Pockets are not waterproof.

The full-length zipper includes an inner storm flap that protects you from wind and water,
and the collar has a soft flap to shield your chin.

Front zipper

To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its resistance to evaporative heat transfer (RET). The lower the RET, the easier it is for water vapour generated during physical exertion to pass through the fabric.
For example:
RET < 9 = very breathable;
RET 9–12 = breathable.
This jacket has two components with the following RET values:
> more resistant fabric: RET < 12 (or 3621 g/m²/24 h, JIS1099A standard)
Lighter fabric: RET < 8 (or 2972 g/m² /2

This jacket stays lightweight and breathable in wet conditions because water
slides off the treated fabric instead of seeping in. The water-repellent coating applied to the jacket’s exterior may change over time.
To restore it, place the jacket in the dryer for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.

Water repellency

To preserve its water-repellent coating, do not wash this jacket too often.
Close all zippers and flaps, empty all pockets, and turn the jacket inside out. Wash it on the synthetics cycle at 30°C or 40°C with your usual detergent. Don’t use fabric conditioner or bleach, as these could damage the water-repellent coating. Very important: Choose a full-rinse cycle or extra rinse.

How to wash your jacket

Drying is a crucial phase in restoring the water-repellent treatment.
We recommend laying your garment flat on a clothes rack to dry. Warning: Never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.
Next, put your garment in the dryer and run a short synthetics cycle (10–15 min.) before turning it right-side-out. Caution: Do not over-dry the garment.
