Main Material

Slim fit with raglan sleeves and good stretch properties for plenty of freedom of movement during your hikes. 
A warm layer, such as a fleece or a lightly padded jacket, can be worn underneath. 

Elastic drawstring and tightening toggle for easy adjustment. 
Integrated semi-rigid visor provides high-level protection.
The small detail that makes the difference: a triangular opening on the side of the hood for better visibility.

Main component 

The waterproof rating depends on two key criteria: component and construction. 
This product was made with a membrane.
The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof and breathable. 
It is flexible, lightweight, and breathable.

Membrane

3-layer design: The membrane is glued between the outer and inner fabric. We use it for durable, high-performing jackets.

Layer design

Laboratory tests are conducted to guarantee the waterproof rating of a component. The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm.
The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This product’s component has a 20,000 mm waterproof rating and can withstand the pressure of a 20,000 mm water column. 
This is equivalent to 20,000 Schmerber.

Component 
waterproofing

We conduct laboratory tests that simulate rainfall to guarantee the jacket’s waterproof rating. 
This product was validated in a shower test under 18 cm of rain for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain storm.

Water resistance of the 
jacket

Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
This allows perspiration to escape during physical activity, preventing it from accumulating on the skin. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 20: not very breathable fabric 
This product as a RET of 6.

A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off its surface without being absorbed. Because the fabric doesn’t soak up water, it remains lightweight and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Water repellency can be reactivated by putting the item in the dryer for 10 minutes on low heat.
You can also use a waterproofing spray (ref.: 8554908).

How to restore water repellency

Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie, France. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It’s the perfect spot for designing our hiking products.
