This men's waterproof jacket is designed for coastal sailing in wet, stormy, and windy conditions.
Water resistance level
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (based on the JIS standard). The higher the water pressure the fabric withstands, the more waterproof it is. On our Sailing 100 jacket: The component is resistant to 5,000 mm of Schmerber water pressure (JIS standard). This is equivalent to the average pressure applied by water during a heavy downpour. The anorak's water resistance was tested in a rain shower of 60 liters of water/m²/hour for 2 hours.
Jacket waterproofing
- High collar
- Injection-molded plastic zipper to prevent salt oxidation
- Water-repellent components (water beads off the fabric)
- 100% taped seams
- The central opening has a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing
Hood
The hood does not tuck into the collar; it is fixed. Fully adjustable hood in depth and height. Visor with headband to provide a good level of protection and better hold. The high neck effectively protects the neck.
Pockets
2 zippered pockets on the front of the jacket to put your hands or some items
1 internal pocket on the right side of the chest with tab closure
Pockets are not waterproof!
Front zipper closure
A full-length zipper with an internal flap protects against wind and water. Soft fabric chin guard at the top of the collar to protect the chin.
Fabric breathability
To find out if a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more moisture evaporates and therefore the higher the fabric's breathability. We consider this if: RET <9 = very breathable fabric
9 Information on water-repellent properties
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric without penetrating. Your jacket does not become waterlogged and remains light and breathable. Water-repellent properties are achieved by a treatment applied to the outer side of the fabric, but in practice these properties can be altered. Water-repellent properties can be reactivated by tumble drying the jacket for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.
How to wash your jacket
To maintain water-repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended. Close all zippers and flaps, empty all pockets, and then turn the garment inside out to wash it. You can wash it on a synthetic cycle at 30°C or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric softener, which can damage the garment's existing performance, or bleach. Very important: Choose a full rinse cycle or an extra rinse.
How to reactivate the jacket's water-repellency
Drying is a crucial step in reactivating the water-repellent treatment. We recommend laying the jacket flat on a clothes rack and letting it air dry. Radiator? Forget about it! Then put it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetic cycle, i.e., 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it right-side out again. Caution: do not over-dry the garment.
