Membrane Construction

type of waterproofing

Schmerber

Standard cut. Can be worn over pants, leggings, or shorts. Note: can’t be hemmed due to the zippers on the sides of the legs.

Main component 

A product’s 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-performance rain pants.

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 that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 1092 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This product’s component has a 15,000-mm waterproof rating and can withstand the pressure of a 15,000-mm water column. 
This is also equivalent to 15,000 Schmerbers.

Component waterproofing

We conduct laboratory tests that simulate rainfall to guarantee the product’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.

Waterproofing

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. The water-repellent properties can be reactivated by putting the pants in the dryer for 10 minutes on low or by using a reactivation spray (ref.: 8551983).

How to restore water repellency

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 has a RET of 8.

Component breathability

To help preserve nature, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products.  
While not yet eco-designed, we work every day to make this product even more environmentally responsible: eco-design, repairability, and sustainability drive our development efforts.

Our environmental policy

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, these pants are then manufactured by our suppliers in Bangladesh.
We collaborate closely with these partners who have specialist knowledge in manufacturing pants. 
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.

Where do our pants come from?

We guarantee that our suppliers comply with our code of conduct. These suppliers are often located in developing countries where our presence helps to create jobs.
By conducting audits and having teams on site, we make sure that the working environment of the employees meets certain quality standards in terms of human respect, personal fulfilment, and environmental protection.

Product design: our expertise

Ultra-fine (18.5 microns) merino wool. Soft and pleasant to wear.

Softness

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

Moisture management

Merino wool reduces body odour. Laboratory test ISO 17299-3.

Odour control

Wool fibres surrounded by polyamide yarn for increased durability.

Abrasion resistance

We added 4% elastane for more stretch and support.

Merino wool is breathable, warm in winter, and moisture-wicking in summer.

These boxers weigh only about 80 g (2.8 oz) in size L. 190 g/m² fabric.

Weight

Boxers with 86% merino wool, for trekking comfortably over long periods. 

Maximum wash temperature of 30°C. Very delicate cycle.

menstrual

invisible

Bottom Shape

Fitted cut for enhanced moisture wicking.

Sizing and fit

We have used a Betaspun yarn structure, where polyamide threads coat merino wool fibres, protecting them from abrasion and cuts without affecting their properties.

Durability 

For greater softness, wash your boxers before first use.

Tip before use

Machine wash your boxers at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent. 
Dry flat and never tumble dry to avoid shrinkage.

Country

When worn as a third layer, this padded jacket has been certified for an active comfort temperature of -10°C during a standardized test in a thermal chamber. The model is wearing a synthetic, long-sleeved shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h wind. We also tested this product in static mode; the comfort temperature is 0°C in this case.

How warm is this padded jacket?

The fill power of down has 3 advantages for mountain hiking: 
- Thermal insulation, because of the air trapped in the down and feathers.
- Ultra-lightweight: down wadding is lighter than synthetic and provides the same warmth. This saves more weight in your backpack.
- Ultra-compressible.

The advantages of down and feather filling

Fill power is a measure of the down’s thermal insulation capacity and potential to trap air. It is expressed in cuin (cubic inches). Down with higher fill power will take up more space, trap more air, and provide greater thermal insulation. This jacket is filled with 90% down and 10% feathers and has a guaranteed fill power of 800 cuin (international standard) or more.

Measuring the fill power of down and feather filling

XS: 122 g (4.3 oz)
S: 131 g (4.6 oz)
M: 140 g (4.9 oz)
L: 149 g (5.2 oz) 
XL: 159 g (5.6 oz)
2XL: 170 g (5.9 oz)
3XL: 181 g (6.3 oz)
4XL: 192 g (6.7 oz)

Filling weight

This washable down jacket can be worn all winter. But the less you wash it, the longer its thermal insulation and water repellency will last.
Our advice: 
1. Machine wash at 30°C with detergent specially formulated for down or technical garments. Use a gentle spin cycle. 
2. Tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls; repeat 2 or 3 times until completely dry.

How to care for down jackets

This fabric is water-repellent. Water repellency keeps the fabric lightweight and warm. It is recommended to wear a waterproof jacket over top in the rain. Treatment on the outer surface achieves water repellency, but the treatment can deteriorate with use. We recommend restoring it after each wash.

Water repellency (different from waterproofing)

After washing, we recommend using a water-repellent spray to prevent water absorption. This renews water-repellent properties and improves performance throughout the garment’s life cycle.

Restoring water repellency

Snags are common during hikes. The good news is that it can be repaired to prevent further tearing and to stop feathers from escaping. Need help repairing? Don’t worry! Some Decathlon workshops offer in-store repairs.

Men's Hiking Jackets

Superfine merino wool (18.5 microns) is very soft and comfortable.

This merino wool headband provides extra warmth for your outdoor adventures. Wool thread protected by polyamide for greater durability.

The merino wool headband is reinforced for greater durability. This is thanks to a new yarn structure. A polyamide thread forms a fine sheath that protects the merino wool fibres against friction and tears.
The fabric weight is 155 g/m².

Why is the MT 500 headband more durable?

We use wool from merino sheep bred on farms in South Africa that do not practise mulesing. 
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to ensure that the sheep whose wool we use for our products live and are shorn in the best conditions.
This means we have full traceability, allowing us to guarantee the wool’s origin.  

Where does the Merino wool used for the MT500 headband come from?
