Cut
This jacket has a fitted cut. The fabric (13% spandex) and the raglan sleeves are stretchy and offer more freedom of movement during your hikes. You can wear a warm layer underneath, like a fleece sweater or a light padded jacket.
You can choose your usual size or one size larger if you want a looser fit.
Hood
The hood is adjustable in height and depth thanks to an elastic drawcord. Stiff visor for maximum face protection.Details that make the difference a triangular opening on the side of the hood for better visibility.
3 layers
This jacket is made up of 3 layers, the best protection there is on the market: the membrane is glued between the inner and outer component layer (hence it being called "3-layer").
The membrane is a very thin Polyurethane film that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable.
It is protected by knitted fabric and has the advantage of being softer, lighter, more durable, and often more breathable than a coating.
Waterproofness test
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
The component of this product has a waterproof rating of 15.000 mm: it can withstand the pressure exerted by a 15.000 mm column of water. This is also equivalent to 15 000 Schmerber.
Breathability test
Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET).
This allows water vapour generated by the body to escape during physical activity to prevent 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: little breathability
Our product has a 6 RET rating
Product design: our expertise
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
The perfect spot for designing our mountain hiking products.
How to restore the water repellency
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. This keeps the fabric from soaking up water, so it stays lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface; however, this property may deteriorate with use.
All the steps to restore the water-repellent properties are below:

Our environmental approach
To contribute to preserving our natural playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products. Thanks to a more technical component, our MH500 jackets are lighter, reducing their CO2 emissions by 28% on average.
Our goal is for this jacket to eventually be 100% eco-designed.
