What does a "waterproof" jacket mean? It's a fabric's resistance to water penetration. This is measured using an approved water pressure test. Since the average pressure of rainfall ranges from 1000mm to 2000mm, we consider a fabric to be waterproof from 2000mm onwards. Our products are able to resist pressures ranging from 2000 to 10000mm, making them extremely waterproof and suited to all weather conditions. Our 900 range products are specially designed to hold up under even the most extreme conditions.

What is a waterproofing test or "shower test"? Approved test where the garment is placed under a shower simulating different weather conditions. All our products are certified 100% waterproof having been tested for 4+ hours in rain of 100l per hour/m² to 450l per hour/m² depending on the product use.To put this into perspective, the highest recorded precipitation ever was in the USA in 1942, when 174l per hour/m² fell over 4.5 hours (NOAA). The average rainfall in Paris is 2l per hour/m² (www.Paris.fr)

What are sealed seams or strips? These are seams that are sealed (or taped) using thermally-sealed watertight strips. They are placed behind the seams and are essential to making the garment watertight as they prevent water from penetrating the fabric by capillary action (water penetration through absorption by the threads and/or stitching holes).

What is hydrolysis? Hydrolysis is a chemical process whereby a membrane or standard coating is broken down by salt present in sea water and sea spray. All Tribord membranes and coatings use a technology which halts hydrolysis, allowing the garments to retain their essential properties for long periods of time. The garments don't degrade and remain watertight and breathable for a long time.

What is water repellency? A quality achieved by applying a hydrophobic, water repellent treatment to a fabric. This process prevents water from sticking to the fabric's surface, thus limiting the fabric's ability to absorb water. When movement is added to the equation, water glides over the fabric. This is characterised as water repellency. Thanks to its water repellent properties, water does not soak into the outer fabric, so the jacket stays light and dries more quickly.

How important is windproofing? Protection from the wind is critical, as wind can chill the body significantly whether you are active or at rest. According to the "windchill" model, which measures how the air temperature feels when factoring in the wind and cold: At a temperature of 5°C combined with winds of 30 km/h, the temperature felt will be 0°C. If the air temperature is 0°C and wind speed is 30 km/h, the temperature felt will be -6°C. The materials used in our products help to counter the chilling effects of the wind.
Composition
100% Polyamide. Fleece lining.
Stock advice
Store in a dry place.
Care instructions:
First wash: wash separately and line dry. Rinse after each use. Occasionally ironing the jacket (every 5 to 10 washes) or tumble drying (synthetic cycle), reactivates the fabric's water repellency.
