This children's sailing jacket is designed for coastal sailing in wet, stormy, and windy conditions.
Water resistance level
We measure the fabric's resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (JIS standard). The higher the water pressure the fabric can withstand, the more waterproof it is. Here are the waterproofing ratings:
Component resistant to 5,000 mm of water pressure before and after aging (5 washes). This is equivalent to an average pressure of 5,000 Schmerber exerted by water during rain. The jacket's waterproofing is tested in a rain shower with 60 liters of water/m²/hour for hours.
Jacket waterproofing
- High collar
- Injection molded plastic to prevent salt oxidation
- Water repellent components (water runs off the fabric)
- 100% taped seams
- The central opening has a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing
Fabric breathability
To see if a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance (RET, ISO 11092). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more moisture evaporates and the higher the breathability. We consider this if: RET <9 = very breathable fabric
9 More resistant fabric: RET <12 (or 3621 g/m²/24 hours, JIS1099A standard)
> Lighter material: RET < 8 (or 2972 g/m²/2
Hood
The hood does not fold into the collar; it is fixed. The hood is fully adjustable in depth, but not in length. Due to regulations, we cannot place an adjustment cord near the neck. Visor with headband to provide good protection and better hold. The high neck effectively protects the neck.
Pockets
2 zippered pockets on the front of the jacket for hands or small items. Pockets are not waterproof!
Front zipper closure
A full-length zipper with an internal flap protects against wind and water. Soft fabric flap at the top of the collar to protect the chin.
Information on water repellency properties
A fabric is water repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric without penetrating. Your jacket does not get waterlogged and remains light and breathable. Water repellent properties are achieved with a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric, but in practice, these properties can change.
How to wash your jacket
You can wash your jacket on a synthetic cycle at 30° or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric softener, which can damage the garment's existing performance, or bleach. Also, be careful not to bend the jacket too much when putting it in the washing machine and do not overload the washing machine. Very important: Choose a full rinse or a double rinse to completely remove all detergent residues.
How to reactivate the jacket's water repellency
Drying is an essential step in reactivating the water repellent treatment. We recommend placing the jacket flat on a clothes rack and letting it air dry. Radiator? Forget it! Then place your anorak in the tumble dryer on a short synthetic wash cycle, i.e., 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it right side out again. Do not overdry the garment.
