Waterproof Hiking Jacket - MH100 Zip - Child 7-15 years

WATERPROOF FEATURE OF THE 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 JIS 1092 standard).The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. This clothing was validated in a shower test using 60 L/sqm/hr of water for 1h. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.

A component with a 5,000 mm rating can withstand the pressure of a 5,000 mm column of water (equivalent to a rain shower of 1h)

COMPONENT BREATHABILITY

Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET).

This is its capacity to let water vapour generated by the body during physical activity escape and therefore avoid water 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 12 RET rating

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Can be stored in the pocket. Central zip opening, elasticated hood, wrists and waistband

COMPONENT DURABILITY

Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we check that our fleeces do not pill using tests conducted in laboratories. Colour retention test: the colour fastness is verified to ensure that the colours do not bleed when coming into contact with saliva. Ageing test: repeated washing should not affect the fabric's properties, behaviour, thickness or appearance.

Care

1/ Machine wash (30°C): gentle washing product. Wash jackets and trousers inside out. Loosen straps and elastics. 2/ Avoid folding the garment too much in the washing machine: this can damage it. 3/ Do not mix clothing styles and colours. 4/ Don't use bleach. 5/ Choose a full rinse and gentle spin cycle. 6/ Either line or tumble dry (low temperature, short cycle).
