Impermeability of the garment
This garment was validated in a shower test using 60 L/sqm/hr of water for 1 hour. This test replicates the average conditions of a rain shower.
The fabric of this jacket is water-repellent, which means water runs off the surface without seeping in. As a result, the fabric does not soak up the water and remains lightweight and breathable. A fabric becomes water repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. We have also taped the main seams, those most exposed to the rain.

How to maintain the waterproofing of your jacket over time
In order to maintain good waterproofing over time, the fabric's water repellent properties must be regularly reactivated. We recommend doing this every three washes or after a dozen uses in the rain. The waterproof property can be easily restored by heating the fabric: in a tumble dryer or with a hairdryer for a relatively short period. If you are washing it, it must be thoroughly rinsed.
Waterproof rating expressed in mm or Schmerber
We measure the resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (test based on Standard ISO 811). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A fabric with a waterproof rating of 2000mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 2000mm column of water.
Component breathability
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its total evaporative resistance (RET) based on the ISO 11092 standard. The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity can escape, and the higher the fabric's breathability.
- RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric
12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric
RET > 20 = little or no breathability
- RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric
12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric
RET > 20 = little or no breathability
How to choose your waterproof jacket based on what sports you are doing and the effort expended
When exercising, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity and duration of the physical activity. If the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to your type of exercise, the perspiration vapour condenses inside the jacket. You feel damp inside: this is condensing perspiration vapour rather than rain getting inside. You therefore need to choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity. This jacket is designed for 2-hour hikes at no more than 5km/h.

Making materials more eco-friendly
We take care of our planet to preserve our natural surroundings and contribute to the pleasure of hiking. This is why, for the turquoise colour of this jacket, we have opted for a material made entirely from recycled polyester fibres to limit our CO2 impact.
Additional recommended products
We recommend you wear the NH500 Waterproof over-trousers to also protect your lower body. You will then have a comprehensive protection system that is very efficient against the wind and showers.
And, first and foremost: from 2019, we will also start using this more eco-friendly dyeing process on these overtrousers!
