Women's Windproof and Water-repellent Hiking Jacket - Raincut Full Zip

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.This jacket is designed with a waterproof coating (JIS 1092 standard): this component resists 5,000 mm H20 (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5 metre column of water).

To maintain a durable water-repellent fabric, we recommend reactivating it regularly.Do this every three washes (it is important to rinse abundantly) or after a dozen uses in the rain.You can easily reactivate the water repellent property by warming the fabric:- in your tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic program)- with a hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm going back and forth twice- or twice over with an iron on the delicate setting without the steam function

The fabric of this jacket is breathable: RET = 12.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 fabricRET ≤ 12: breathable fabricRET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

This rain jacket was designed for a 2-h hike at a pace of 5 km/h max.,without elevation gainDuring sports activity, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity/duration of the physical effort.If the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to your type of physical activity, the perspiration vapour condenses inside the jacket.You will feel damp inside:It is not rain coming through but perspiration vapour condensing.Choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity.

Wear the Raincut waterproof over-trousers to protect your lower body as well. You will then have a comprehensive protection system that is very effective against the wind and showers.

Our priority? That our hiking clothes fit all body shapes and figures! So that all those who wish to can enjoy the hiking trails in comfort. That's why this jacket is available from XS to 3XL.
