lightweightWeighs 312 g in size 10-11 years- WATERPROOF FEATURE OF THE COMPONENTThe 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. A component with an impermeability of 5,000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 5,000 mm of water (which corresponds roughly to a 1-hour rainfall). Waterproofing is expressed in schmerbers (for example: 5 000 schmerbers). This number is before washing.
- Windproof effectCoating applied to the fabric makes it waterproof and windproof. Waterproof fabric has the necessary technical characteristics to be considered windproof. Protection from the wind is critical, as whether playing sports or at rest, wind can chill the body significantly.
- COMPONENT BREATHABILITYComponent 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
- WHERE DO OUR JACKETS COME FROM?Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this jacket is then manufactured by our suppliers in Vietnam, Ethiopia and Bangladesh. These are partners that have genuine expertise in making our tents and with whom we are in close collaboration. Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.

Environmental impact
Ecodesign approach
Analysing the product's environmental footprint enabled us to identify the most impactful stages of its life cycle. Thanks to this approach, our design teams were able to develop this product while significantly reducing its environmental impact.More about our approach
Biton
Product made from 15% yarn combining dyed and undyed fibresUsing this dyeing process enables us to reduce the CO2 emissions linked to the production of the dyed component by at least 39% compared to conventional dyeing.
Recycled polyester
Product made from 68% recycled polyesterUsing recycled polyester rather than conventional polyester reduces the CO2 emissions linked to the material by at least 17%.
