MAIN COMPONENT

3-layer component with membrane

Component with membrane or coating

– A coating is like a kind of paint applied to the inside of the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane, and requires a lining for protection.
– The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more durable and often more breathable than a coating.

Jacket construction with membrane

– 3 layers: The membrane is glued between the outer fabric and the inner fabric. Used for resistant and high-performance jackets
– 2.5 layers: The membrane is glued under the outer fabric and protected by a thin film on the inside. Used for lightweight jackets.
– 2 layers: the membrane is glued only to the outer fabric; the inner protective lining is free. Used for comfortable jackets

Component waterproofing

The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is expressed in terms of the height in mm of a water column (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a 15,000 mm waterproof rating is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 15,000 mm column of water (which roughly corresponds to a 4-hour thunderstorm).

Water resistance of the jacket

This garment has been validated in a shower test under 450 L/m²/hour of water for 4 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain storm.

Component breathability

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more water vapor generated by physical activity can escape, and the higher the fabric’s breathability. For example:
RET < 3 = extremely breathable fabric
RET ≤ 6 very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12= breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20 = little or no breathability

Breathability of the jacket

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.

How to restore the water-repellent properties?

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it to prevent the material from soaking up water. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer surface. This treatment needs to be restored during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes).

Breathability of the garment

In addition to breathability of the fabrics used, Quechua develops technical solutions (zippers, ventilation, mesh, etc.) to improve the overall ventilation of its backpacking jackets and overpants designed for great hiking use (Forclaz, Bionnassay and Helium lines). These ventilation systems allow you to regulate the temperature inside the garment and also to facilitate the transfer of perspiration generated by the body during physical effort.

Water-repellent property of the component

A fabric is water-repellent when it allows water to slide over its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from swelling and keeps it lightweight, breathable and warm. The water-repellency is obtained by a treatment applied on the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment’s lifetime (recommended after every 3 washes). All Quechua waterproof jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.

Product environmental impact comparison score

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle using different indicators. An overall ABCDE mark is given to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing similar products to each other (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc).
