Women's Travel Trekking Waterproof 3-in-1 Jacket - Travel 100 0 degrees Celcius White

Main fabric: 100.0% Polyamide ; Hood fabric: 100.0% Polyamide ; Lining: 100.0% Polyester ; Coating: 100.0% Polyurethane

The lining on the sleeves and the fleece are made from recycled polyester. What does this mean? As well as being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact. In brief: polyester yarn is made from oil. Using recycled polyester is to reclaim and repurpose waste products such as manufacturing remnants or plastic bottles instead of using new oil resources. And that's already a step in the right direction isn't it?

The jacket has undergone a thermal resistance test that measures the quantity of warmth lost between the body and outside environment. The lower this temperature, the more the product preserves body heat and therefore protects it from the cold outside. We placed the jacket on thermal mannequins that reproduce the heat emitted by the body and sweating. They are placed in temperature controlled rooms that go down to -40°C.

The Travel 100 jacket has been certified for temperatures down to 0°C. This means that it provides thermal comfort down to that temperature, if you wear the fleece with the waterproof jacket.

The test is carried out in 3 stages: - First, we check the quality of the waterproofing tape on the entire jacket. - Then, the jacket is put under an artificial shower with a flow rate of 100 L/h for 3 hours. - Under the jacket, the mannequin is wearing an absorbent fabric that darkens to indicate any moisture, in order to check the waterproofing of the product.

This jacket was designed to be worn over a second layer garment (fleece, sweater). Select your usual size for the best fit. The jacket has a longline cut that stops at the middle of the buttocks. You can tighten the waist thanks to the snap fasteners. Adjust the hood using the drawcord around the face. Its depth is adjusted by a rip tab at the back of the head.

The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm H20 (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.

The waterproofness of a jacket isn’t limited to that of its components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criterion.Whether heat-sealed or sewn then waterproofed, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities.As such, the TRAVEL 100 waterproof jacket protects you from a downpour, i.e. 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.
