Design details

How can I maintain the waterproofing?

Optimise the durability of its water-repellency: reactivate the protective layer every 3 washes (rinsing thoroughly), or after a dozen uses in the rain. Effective methods: 15 minutes in the tumble dryer on a synthetic programme, a hair dryer from 20 cm away, or temperate iron without steam. Efficiency maintained!

What is water repellency?

Water-repellency is a surface treatment that sees water slide off the surface rather than be absorbed by it. Score: your jacket remains lightweight, with optimal breathability. We’ve strengthened this protection by making the main rain-exposed seams waterproof.

How waterproof is it?

This jacket uses a certified 5,000 mm H2O (Schmerbers) coating, according to the JIS 1092 standard. This Schmerbers value is an indication of its ability to withstand the pressure of a 5-metre column of water. What this actually means is that it keeps you protected during light and prolonged rain, ideal for your demanding adventures.

What products should be paired with this jacket?

For optimised protection, pair this jacket with our NH500 overtrousers for men, for a comprehensive system. Jacket and pants set = full body protection against wind and rain.This “full-kit” approach maximises efficiency while still offering mobility and technical comfort.

Choosing a jacket according to your level of physical exertion?

The intensity of the exertion determines the extent of perspiration transfer: if breathability is insufficient, vapour condenses inside (saturation effect). This jacket is suitable for day-long hikes up to 5 km/hr, at an intermediate level. Adapt your equipment to your goals!
