Women's Hiking Waterproof Over-Trousers Raincut

Main fabric: 100.0% Polyester ; Coating: 100.0% Polyurethane

The waterproof properties of the over trousers aren’t just that of its components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criterion.Sewn watertight, the overall waterproof properties of your over trousers are measured with a shower test developed by Decathlon that simulates rain of varying intensity.These Raincut waterproof over trousers protect you from a small shower equivalent to 6 cm of rain in 1 hour.

The fabric of these overtrousers has water-repellent properties: it lets water slide over its surface without seeping in. In this way, the fabric doesn’t soak up water and stays light and breathable. The water-repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior: it doesn’t use fluorinated compounds which have a harmful impact on fauna and flora.

To maintain a durable water-repellent fabric, we recommend reactivating it regularly. Do this every three washes (it is important to rinse abundantly) or after a dozen uses in the rain. You can easily reactivate the water repellent property by warming the fabric: - in a tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic program) - with a hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm by going back and forth twice- or two passes with an iron on the delicate setting without the steam function.

The fabric of these overtrousers is breathable: RET = 12.Component 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 fabricRET ≤ 12: breathable fabricRET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

This product is designed for hikes lasting several hours while walking at a pace of no more than 5km/h.During sports activity, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity or the duration of the physical effort . If the fabric's breathability isn't suited to the type of activity/exercise your perspiration will condense inside jacket. You will feel damp inside this is not rain coming through but perspiration vapour condensing . You need to choose over-trousers in line with your activity type.

Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts, to test our products on natural terrain.Our entire range of waterproof jackets and overtrousers is also subjected to a shower test carried out in our climatic chamber, in our laboratory near Lille.

It is important to always make sure that the trousers completely dry before putting them away.
