We measure the fabric resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (based on the JIS standard). The higher the water pressure a fabric can withstand, the more waterproof it is.

On our Sailing 100 jacket.
Fabric is resistant to water pressure of 5,000 mm Schmerber. This equates to the average pressure applied by the water during a rain shower. 
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.

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.
The RET of this sailing jacket is 12.

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 maintain the water-repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended.
Close all zippers and flaps, empty all pockets, and turn the jacket inside out. Wash it on the synthetics cycle (30°C–40°C) with regular detergent. Don’t use fabric conditioner or bleach, as these could damage the material’s water-repellent coating. 
Very important: Run 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 that you lay your garment flat on a clothes rack to dry. Caution: never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.
Then place it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round. Caution: Do not over-dry the garment.
