This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 L of water/m²/hour for 1 hour. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower. The fabric of this jacket is water repellent, i.e. water runs off its surface without getting absorbed. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. What's more, we have waterproofed the main seams, those most exposed to the rain.

In order to maintain long-term waterproofing, we advise you to regularly reactivate the water repellence of the fabric. We recommend doing this every three washes, or after using it in the rain a dozen times. The waterproof property is easily reactivated by warming the fabric: either in your tumble dryer or with a hair dryer, for example, for a relatively short period of time. If you are washing it, it must be thoroughly rinsed. You will find all our advice in the care instructions

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 water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 2,000 mm can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by a 2,000 mm water column.

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (RET) using a test based on the ISO 11092 standard. The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher its breathability. RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric RET > 20 = fabric with little or no breathability

When doing sports, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity or duration of the effort. If the fabric’s breathability is not suitable for the type of activity you are doing, vapour from perspiration condenses inside the jacket. You feel damp inside the jacket: this is vapour from condensation of sweat, rather than the rain getting inside. You need to choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity. This jacket is designed for a two-hour hike at a pace of 5 km/hr.

On a scale from A to E, this jacket was given a score of A. The environmental impacts of our products are calculated over their entire life cycle. A score is given to each product so that you can easily identify the more eco-friendly products within a particular family (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks). Decathlon is voluntarily taking action in this environmental labelling.

Bulk dyeing consists of incorporating the pigments during the manufacture of the yarn. This reduces the environmental impact of water-related dyeing (consumption & pollution).

To also protect your lower body and have a complete suit that is very effective in protecting you from wind and downpours, we recommend the Raincut over-trousers. From 2019 onwards we will also start using a more eco-friendly dyeing process for these over-trousers!

Our hiking jackets are guaranteed for 2 years. Our commitment? To offer you long-lasting products that you can use on all your country walks. Because the products we hold most dear are those that have enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, success!

We advise you to always make sure that this rain jacket is completely dry before storing it.

All our models are tested in the field by target users, and these tests are complemented by laboratory tests. Indeed, we believe that the only way to create and continuously improve the technical features and design of all our Quechua products is to test them in real-life conditions.
