What cut does this jacket have?

The hood height can be adjusted using an elastic cord and a drawstring. The built-in semi-rigid visor provides optimal protection. 
Little extra: Triangular opening on the side of the hood to improve lateral visibility.

What about the hood?

Thanks to its waterproof rating of 20,000 mm H2O (Schmerber), this jacket withstands intense rain showers. With its taped seams, protected zips and 3-layer membrane, it keeps you dry in all conditions.

How waterproof is it?

The Schmerber measures the resistance to water pressure: The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. With a rating of 20,000 mm water (Schmerber), this jacket resists a water column of 20 m and guarantees optimal protection, even in heavy rain.

What is a Schmerber?

Thanks to its membrane, this jacket combines waterproofing and moisture wicking. The 3-layer design incorporates the membrane between the outer fabric and the interior, offering enhanced durability and reliable performances for all your hikes.

What is a membrane?

The drawback of waterproof jackets is often their lack of breathability. They keep you dry on the outside, but damp on the inside. To avoid this, this jacket uses breathable fabric and has large side openings for better humidity evacuation.

Why use a ripstop fabric?

The thermal evaporative resistance (RET) defines the breathability of the fabric. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric:
- RET < 6: very breathable
- RET ≤ 12: breathable
- RET ≤ 20: low breathability 
With a RET of 6, this jacket guarantees good humidity evacuation during physical efforts.

What is a RET index?

Do up the zips, turn the jacket inside out, and machine-wash it at 30°C. 
Use a smaller dose of detergent (preferably one specifically for waterproof clothing) to avoid residues. 
Rinse and gently wring out to protect the jacket.

How to wash your jacket

3 methods: 
- Dry the jacket in a tumble dryer for 15 minutes. This can reactivate the water-repellent treatment of the fabric.
- Use our detergent for technical products then apply the water repellency reactivator.
- Use the water repellency reactivator spray.
