Men’s 3-in-1 waterproof hiking jacket - SH100 0°C

The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerbers or mm H2O (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.

With its “3-in-1” system, the jacket is ideal for cold conditions (down to 0°C) as well as hot weather trips, as you can leave the inner layer at home, taking only the rain coat. You can also wear the inner fleece on its own as a mid-layer over a T-shirt. With just one jacket, you therefore get 3 options!

The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a membrane is measured in Schmerbers or H20 mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.

A jacket\'s waterproof properties are not derived solely from its components: the technique used to assemble the different pieces is also an evaluation criterion. Whether it\'s thermo-sealed or sewn and then taped, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is assessed in a shower test, developed by Decathlon, which simulates downpours of varying intensities. We know, therefore, that this TRAVEL 100 waterproof jacket will protect you from a downpour i.e. 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.

We test our fabrics in the laboratory on various criteria, including abrasion resistance to reproduce the friction of backpack straps. We conduct a standardised Martindale test, which rubs the jacket’s fabric against another fabric. The aim is to measure the point at which the product starts to become worn & the pilling begins. The jacket passes the test easily as it reaches 20,000 cycles on the Martindale, above the average for other jackets on the market
