QUECHUA NH400 Men's waterproof nature hiking jacket- Grey

This garment has been shower-tested using 60 litres of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower.
This jacket's fabric is water repellent: this is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water & keeps it lightweight & breathable. A fabric becomes water repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface.
In addition we sealed 100% of the seams

The fabric's water repellent properties must be reactivated in order to preserve long-lasting effective waterproofing: we recommend that this is done every 3 washes or after wearing a dozen times in the rain. After washing, the garment must be thoroughly rinsed, after which the water repellent properties can be easily reactivated by warming: for a short period of time in a tumble dryer or with a hair-dryer, for example. You will find all our tips in the maintenance manual of this product sheet.

The hood can be adjusted in height with a drawstring. It can be adjusted in depth thanks to a velcro strip at the back of the hood. The hood has a shape memory visor for a good protection of the face.

7 pockets in all! 2 side pockets to warm your hands. 2 large outside bellow pockets with flap and snap button. 1 outside chest pocket and 1 inside pocket with zip to keep belongings safe. 1 inside mesh pocket for your gloves, for example, to keep them warm against your body!

Bi-material lining around the body: mesh in the back to enhance the breathability of the garment and nylon at the hips to maximize the freedom of movement and abrasion-resistance. Ultra soft touch material in the hood for even more comfort.

We measure a fabric's capacity to support a column of water expressed in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Components with a 5000 mm waterproof rating can support the pressure of a 5000 mm column of water which is equivalent to a rain shower lasting two hours.

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity is evaporated, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = fabric is not breathable or has low breathability.
