Schmerber

Tightening Type

Fastener Type

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 our product is very breathable -12 RET.
Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET). This refers to its capacity to release perspiration during activity. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 
RET ≤ 9: extremely breathable fabric;
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or non-breathable fabric

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 easily reactivate the water repellency properties by warming the fabric:
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle)
- with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm (8”)
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

How to maintain your jacket’s waterproof coating

This rain jacket was designed for a 2-hour hike at a maximum speed of 5 km/h (3 mph), with no ascent.
How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your physical activity.If the fabric is not breathable enough for your activity, perspiration will condense inside the jacket,and you feel damp.This moisture is not rain soaking through the shell, but condensation caused by perspiration.You need to choose a rain jacket for your type of physical activity.

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

We listened to feedback from runners for this second version (V2). The component used for the ends of the index finger and thumb has been totally modified. We selected a very soft imitation suede component to increase the efficiency and precision of the touchscreen function.

Running touchscreen function so you can use your smartphone

In addition to choosing the right size, it is also important to adjust the extremities of the fingers of your gloves (especially the thumb and index finger) to ensure they are correctly positioned and avoid creating creases at the touchscreen parts.

How do I optimize the touchscreen function?

Every runner may have a different sensitivity to cold. 
Our unisex adult touchscreen gloves are designed for running in cold weather at temperatures between 5°C and 10°C. The comfort temperature is 10 °C.
Our gloves strike the right balance between weight, breathability, and practicality.
If you’d like greater protection, we advise that you opt for our Evolutiv V2 gloves featuring removable membranes (reference 8759614). 

Running with gloves in cool/cold weather

Choosing the right size is essential to:
- run in comfort
- optimize the touchscreen function on the index finger and thumb of the gloves.
Gloves that fit the shape of your hands perfectly optimize touchscreen effectiveness when using the screen of your smartphone.

Our tool for measuring your palm size and hand length will allow us to recommend a size.
Where possible, we recommend trying on the product in a store.

Playing Surface

Entirely designed and validated during a one-year collaboration with 14 users, from the drafting of the specifications to the prototype validation tests, including the choice of the colour.
Thank you to Serge, Evelyne, Olivier, Thomas, Perrine, and everyone else!

Design

In addition to its durability, the rubber material of this cap has a higher grip coefficient on hard ground (road, stones, tree roots).
The V-shaped knobs are designed to provide good grip on soft ground (dirt, mud).

Our other technical choices

Push the cap forcefully onto the tip so the flexible material adapts to the tip. It is important to hit the ground hard 2 to 3 times to ensure full insertion.
The grip on the pole tip has been designed so that the cap does not come off easily when walking. The grip is best on a clean tip but decreases if there is any dust or moisture on the tip.
To remove it, pull it off with a twisting motion. This will make it much easier to remove.

Place of Practice

Certified sole grip. 
To be certified, the shoes must pass lab tests to assess their grip (0.6 for this model) on various surfaces (smooth, rugged, dry, wet). 
These tests are validated by a panel of testers who evaluate the quality of our soles out in the mountains across 500 km.

Sole grip

For hiking, opt for one size larger for optimal comfort on the descent and to prevent toes from touching the tip of the shoe. Tip: keep your toenails short, and before going downhill at any time, check that your laces are tight to prevent your feet from slipping forward inside the shoes.

Which size should you choose?

Allow children to try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. Check two comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down. Avoid all pressure points when trying shoes on.
Break your shoes in gradually on your first few hiking trips. Print the sizing chart and check the length of your child’s foot.

Buying tips

Removable insole for faster drying. It can also be replaced by an orthopaedic insole.

What does the UV protection do?  
It protects your eyes from UV rays.
UV radiation is present in winter and summer, in sunny and cloudy weather, and can be harmful to your eyes and eye contours.
The lenses are made of polycarbonate mixed with UV protection against the harmful rays of the sun (UVA and UVB).

UV protection

Tinted lens classification based on ISO 12312-1 standard: - Category 1: lens with a light tint for reduced sunlight. - Category 2: lens with a medium tint for average sunlight. - Category 3: dark lens for strong sunlight (sea and mountains). Between 82% and 92% visible light absorbed.
- Category 4: very dark lens, for exceptional sunlight (high mountains). Between 92% and 97% visible light absorbed.

Glare

Our lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is resistant to impacts but easily scratched. 
Even if your lenses are scratched, the UV protection does not decrease; the mirror effect is purely for aesthetic purposes.
The same goes for the colour of our tinted lenses.
Choose your glasses according to your preference—all colours will protect your eyes.

With Wrist Strap

Designed and validated on real hikes: Mont Blanc in France, Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
Durability was tested during a 550-km (341.7-mile) test mission in the Canaries and the Pyrenees (GR10).

You go hiking to get out in nature. You may need to carry your belongings for several days. That’s why you need a reliable pole.
We selected wider tubes in the highest-grade aluminum. We secured the pushpin area with internal reinforcement. Compression test results (pressure on the pole axis) show that this pole can support 560 N (~56 kg/123 lb) per pole.

Why did we work so hard on durability?

Before you begin your hike, you might have to travel by bus or plane. You’ll also have to carry all your equipment in your bag. Compact poles are easy to pack. When collapsed, this pole can fit in the side pocket of a hiking backpack.

Why make it compact?

We chose EVA foam, a soft material that’s resistant to perspiration and doesn’t tear easily.
We added a long grip below the handle for a lower hold when walking uphill and on banking terrain.
The knob is the most comfortable in the product line, with its elongated round shape and soft material. It is easily gripped from above.
The wrist strap is not too thick and has fewer seams, to prevent blisters.

How was the handle designed?

Using the pole: Extend the pole until the pushpin clicks. Refer to the instructions attached to the pole.
To adjust the length: While holding the grip, your arm should bend at a 90-degree angle. 
- Open the outer lever.
- Slide the tube to the desired length.
- Close the lever.
Never go over the Stop line to avoid breaking the pole.

How to adjust your poles to the correct length

This hiking pole is designed to help you balance, propel yourself forward, and reduce impact on your arms and legs.
To be on the safe side, check before you set off and at regular intervals that your pole is locked in place by simulating heavy bumps. If you notice that your pole keeps sliding out of place, the locking mechanism turn ring needs adjusting. Open the lever and turn the knob a quarter to a half turn.
Do not attach it to your backpack, as this can be hazardous in the event of a storm.

Directions for use

Proper maintenance of your pole will ensure that it functions optimally and that it lasts longer.
After use, if water has penetrated the pole, remove the strands and allow them to dry. If necessary, clean the dust or mud with water or a dry brush. Once dry, you can reassemble the strands.
Do not oil or grease the mechanisms.

Care instructions

Decathlon sells hiking and trekking poles individually. This is because they are used in different ways. Some people prefer to use only one pole. If someone uses a pair and one pole breaks, they can replace one broken pole without buying a new pair.

Why is the pole sold individually?

Forclaz hiking poles have a wide range of compatible accessories and spare parts. This way, you can enjoy it as long as possible.

Lightweight, compact jacket | Weight: 420 g (14.8 oz) in size M

This long, waterproof jacket is designed for occasional hikes in light rain on the flat terrain.

The fabric is water-repellent: water beads off the surface. The fabric doesn’t soak up water and stays lightweight and breathable.
Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. It doesn’t use fluoride compounds. 

PFC-free water repellency

Component waterproofing

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 easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm, twice
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

Preserving your jacket’s performance

The fabric of this jacket is breathable: RET = 12.
Component breathability is measured using thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
RET refers to a fabric’s capacity to let perspiration evaporate. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

This jacket is designed for hiking for 2 hours at a maximum pace of 5 km/h, with no elevation gain.
During activity, how much you 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,not because of rain soaking through the shell, but because of condensation caused by perspiration.Choose a waterproof jacket according to your level of physical activity.

Choose your waterproof jacket according to the intensity of your activity

Our priority: ensure our hiking clothes fit all body shapes! We want to help everyone enjoy hiking in complete comfort. This is why this jacket is available in sizes XS to 3XL.
