Thermal comfort and windproof

The wind causes the perceived temperature to decrease considerably! With an outside temperature of 32°F and 12 mph winds, it will feel like the temperature is 14°F. “Windproof” components help eliminate the discomfort linked to this “freezing effect”. They are very effective at reducing heat loss by creating a barrier against the wind.

Water-repellent property of the component (different from waterproofing)

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. In this way, the fabric does not soak up water and therefore remains lightweight, breathable and warm. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend doing this every 3 washes).

Component breathability

To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its total evaporative resistance RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the resistance, the more water vapor generated by the body in physical activity can escape through the fabric. Hence, the more breathable it is. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 920 = little or no breathability.

Breathability of the garment

In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, Quechua develops technical solutions (zippers, air vents, mesh, etc.) to improve the overall ventilation of all its jackets and overpants designed for use on long hikes (Forclaz, Bionnassay and Helium lines). These ventilation systems regulate the temperature inside the garment while also helping to eliminate the perspiration generated by the body during physical activity.

A score to compare the environmental impact of the products

The environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire lifecycle using different indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.) Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products.
