Forclaz 3-in-1 Waterproof Travel Trekking Jacket Travel 100 0 degrees Celcius - Grey

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

Our design choices reduce our CO02 emissions by 18% compared to the previous model thanks to these actions :- The main material on this jacket is made from 100% recycled polyamide.- The mesh inside of the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester and uses mass dyeing known as ”dope dyeing”, that involves adding all the colour pigments when the yarn is manufactured to avoid dye baths.- The lining on the sleeves and the fleece are made from 100% recycled polyester.

By recycling plastic bottles and used textiles to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of petroleum resources while preserving the qualities and performance of the material for your outings.The fleece uses a CO2 dyeing process in order to save water.

We test our fabrics in the laboratory on various criteria, including abrasion resistance to reproduce the friction of backpack straps. We conduct a standardised Martindale test, which rubs the jacket’s fabric against another fabric. The aim is to measure the point at which the product starts to become worn & the pilling begins. The jacket passes the test easily as it reaches 20,000 cycles on the Martindale, above the average for other jackets on the market

The jacket was also subjected to single rip tearing tests. The aim is to reproduce in a laboratory the effect of your jacket snagging on something outdoors and being ripped. Using this test protocol, we check that the fabric doesn't rip any further after a hole is made in the fabric, so that it can still protect you for years to come.

With the ”3-in-1” system, the jacket will be ideal for cold conditions (down to -0°C) and for hot weather trips, because you can leave the inner layer at home and wear the rain jacket by itself. You can also wear the inner fleece on its own as a mid layer over a T-shirt. With just one jacket, you therefore get 3 options!

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

A jacket's waterproof properties are not derived solely from its components: the technique used to assemble the different pieces is also an evaluation criterion.Whether it's thermo-sealed or sewn and then taped, the overall waterproofness of your jacket is assessed in a shower test, developed by Decathlon, which simulates downpours of varying intensities.We know, therefore, that this TRAVEL 100 waterproof jacket will protect you from a downpour i.e. 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.

This jacket was first tested in the laboratory, on a whole set of factors (warmth, waterproofing, durability). It was then tested by a small panel of users, at the heart of our global development centre, to assess the comfort, fit and practical features.Finally, it was validated in the field by volunteer-customers, as part of a test mission, just like a large number of Decathlon's products (check out our website)
