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).

Water resistance of the fabric

The fabric of this jacket is water-repellent, i.e., water runs off its surface without being absorbed. This keeps the fabric from soaking up water so the jacket stays lightweight and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. The main seams are also taped.

Fabric water repellency

Our fabric is extremely breathable (RET 12). 
Breathability is measured according to the product’s thermal evaporative resistance. This refers to its capacity to release perspiration during activity. The lower the thermal evaporative resistance (RET), the higher the fabric’s breathability.

RET < 9 = extremely breathable 
RET < 12 = very breathable 
RET < 20 = breathable 
RET > 20 = slightly breathable to not breathable at all

Fabric breathability

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 reactivate the water repellency properties by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, held 20 cm (8”) away from the fabric, moved back and forth twice over each section 
- with an iron on the delicate setting, steam function off, two passes over each section

How to maintain the water resistance of your jacket over time

When we’re active, how much we 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:This moisture is not rain soaking through the shell but condensation caused by perspiration.You need to choose your jacket according to the type of physical activity.This jacket is designed for the occasional one-day hike at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph).

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

For full protection against wind and rain, we recommend the NH 500 Rain Pants too.
