Do not dry clean.

Drying in tumble dryer possible. Low temperature, maximum drum exhaust temperature 60°C.

Do not iron.

Maximum washing temperature 30°C. Normal cycle.

Bleaching excluded.

We measure fabric resistance to water by how much water pressure the fabric can withstand (in mm of water column, based on the JIS standard). The higher number, the more waterproof the fabric.
The fabric of this jacket 

resists water pressure up to 5,000 mm Schmerber. This equates to the average pressure applied by the water during a rain shower.
The 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 
adjustable for height and depth. It does not tuck away into the collar.
Visor with a headband to provide a good level of protection and a better hold.
The high neck effectively protects the neck.

Hood

2 zippered pockets on the front to put your hands or items and 1 inner right-chest pocket with hook-and-loop fastening. Note: The pockets are not waterproof.

The full-length zipper includes an inner flap that protects you from wind and water,
and the collar has a soft flap to shield your chin.

Front zipper

To measure breathability, we measure resistance to evaporative heat transfer (RET). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more moisture is evaporated, and therefore the higher the fabric's breathability.
For example:
RET < 9: very breathable
RET 9–12: breathable.
This sailing jacket has a RET of 12.

This jacket stays lightweight and breathable in wet conditions because 
the treated fabric repels water instead of letting it soak in. The water-repellent properties are achieved with a treatment applied to the external side of the fabric, but in practice these properties can be altered.
To revive it, simply tumble dry the jacket for 10 minutes on the lowest heat setting.

Water repellency

Wash sparingly to help maintain the jacket’s water-repellent properties.
Close all zippers and flaps, empty all pockets, and turn the jacket inside out. Select a synthetics cycle (30°C–40°C) and use regular detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the coating. Always run a full or extra rinse cycle.

How to wash your jacket

Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment.
First, lay the garment flat on a drying rack. Never place it directly on a radiator.
Once dry, put it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle (10–15 minutes), then turn it right side out. Caution: Avoid over-drying.
