Stay dry during your outdoor walks! This water-resistant jacket protects you well from light rain, so you can go out and explore with peace of mind.
What is a breathable fabric?
A fabric that wicks perspiration away to the outside during periods of physical exertion. This capacity is measured in the RET rating scale: The lower the score, the better. Your jacket has an RET rating of 12, which is a "breathable" level. The result? You stay dry, inside and out!
How do you reactivate its ability to not be penetrated by water?
To keep your jacket waterproof in the rain, reactivate the protective layer every 3 washes (making sure to rinse it completely) or after 10 uses in the rain. It's easy to do: 15 minutes in the tumble dryer, a lot of time with a hairdryer held 20 cm away, or an iron at a low temperature without steam.
How to maintain the jacket's waterproof and durable properties
To maintain water resistance, we recommend regular reactivation of the fabric. Do it every three washes (with plenty of rinsing) or after approximately 12 uses in the rain. You can easily reactivate the water resistance property by heating the fabric:
- with your tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic program); - with a hairdryer at a distance of 20 cm, going back and forth twice; - or twice with an iron at a delicate setting without the steam function.
A jacket chosen to suit your level of effort
This jacket is ideal for outdoor walking with complete peace of mind: Maximum 2 hours, at an average pace (5 km/h), on flat terrain. Why this level of precision? The more you sweat, the more the fabric needs to be able to breathe! Otherwise, your sweat remains trapped inside your clothes, making you wet.
Are there any other products that go with this?
Wear the Raincut waterproof overpants to also protect your lower body. Then you'll have a comprehensive protection system that is very effective against wind and rain.
How can I maintain the waterproofing?
To keep your jacket waterproof for a long time, reactivate the protective layer every 3 washes or after 10 uses in the rain. It's easy to do: 15 minutes in a tumble dryer (on a synthetic cycle), or a long time holding the hairdryer 20 cm away. Your jacket regains its effectiveness!
How is this jacket waterproof?
Our jacket is protected by a waterproof coating that can withstand 5,000 mm H2O (Schmerbers). What does this actually mean? It's like it can withstand a 5-meter column of water! This guarantees you an excellent level of protection, even in light rain for about an hour.
This spare jacket effectively protects you from winds up to 70 km/h. Perfect for your outings in unpredictable weather, you can easily take it with you.
