Women's Nature Hiking Waterproof Jacket NH100

This garment has been subjected to a shower test using 16 gallons of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This test replicates the average conditions of a rain shower. The fabric of this jacket is water-repellent: this is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. As a result, the fabric does not soak up the water and remains lightweight and breathable. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. What's more, all the seams are taped.

The fabric's water-repellent properties must be reactivated in order to preserve long-lasting effective waterproofing: we recommend that this is done every 3 washes or after wearing a dozen times in the rain. After washing, the garment must be thoroughly rinsed, after which the water-repellent properties can be easily reactivated by warming: in a tumble dryer or with a hairdryer for a relatively short period. You will find all our advice in the care instructions of this product data sheet.

Raincut overpants for protecting the lower body as well, so that you can have a complete outfit that offers highly effective protection against wind and showers.

The main body of the jacket is lined with mesh to enhance the garment's breathability; this lining also makes it much more pleasant on the skin.

We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the higher the waterproof rating of the fabric. A component with a 2000 mm waterproof rating can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by a 2000 mm column of water

To assess the breathability of the fabric, the evaporative resistance, RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard), is measured. The lower the resistance of the fabric, the more water vapor generated by body movements is allowed to escape and hence the more breathable it is. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability.
