Quechua MH550, Waterproof Hiking Jacket, Kids'

A fabric's resistance is measured using water pressure expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (test based on ISO 811) The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm is therefore able to withstand the pressure exerted by 5,000 mm of water (the rough equivalent of a 5-hour rain shower.) The waterproof rating is expressed in Schmerbers (for example: 5,000 Schmerbers).

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 vapor generated by physical activity can escape 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 = little or no breathability.

Resistance to wear test: for example, we carry out laboratory tests to check that the fleeces do not pill. Colorfastness test: we check colorfastness to ensure that colors do not bleed when coming into contact with saliva. Aging test: repeated washing must not alter the fabric's original properties, including its shape, thickness or appearance.

The fabric is rendered waterproof, and therefore wind proof, by applying a coating to the inner surface. In fact, the properties of a waterproof fabric mean that it can also be certified as wind proof. It is very important to protect yourself from the wind, when moving or stationary, because of the wind's powerful chilling effect.

Cuff adjustment with rip-tab straps. Extra length at back to protect rear when sitting down. 2 ventilation zippers at front. Connected pocket with a slot for headphones.

The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifespan, using various indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental Information of its products. For more information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
