New 🎁 Hiking Clothing Quechua Raincut NH100, Waterproof Zip Hiking Rain Jacket, 👩 Women’s 🧨

Our best price for waterproof walking jackets! This light, compact, waterproof and breathable technical jacket provides excellent back-up protection and can be stored in your pocket.

Waterproofing of the garment

This clothing was validated in a shower test using 60 L/sqm/hr of water for 1 hour. This test reproduces the average conditions of a shower. The fabric of this jacket is water repellent, i.e. it makes water run off its surface without absorbing it. As a result, the fabric does not soak up water and stays light and breathable. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. What’s more, we have taped the main seams, those most exposed to the rain.

How to maintain the waterproofing of your jacket over time

In order to maintain good waterproofing over time, the fabric’s water repellent properties must be regularly reactivated. We recommend doing this every 3 washes or after a dozen uses in the rain. The waterproof property is easily reactivated by warming the fabric: either in your tumble dryer or with a hair dryer, for example, over a relatively short period. If you are washing it, it must be thoroughly rinsed.

Measurement of the waterproof rating expressed in mm or Schmerber

The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with an impermeability of 2000 mm therefore resists a pressure exerted by 2000 mm of water

Component breathability

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its total evaporative resistance (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.
RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric
12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric
RET > 20 = little or no breathability

How to choose your waterproof jacket according to your sports discipline and the intensity of your physical activity

During sports, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity or duration of the physical activity. If the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to your type of physical activity, the perspiration vapor condenses inside the jacket. You feel damp inside: this is condensing perspiration vapor rather than rain getting inside. You therefore need to choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity. This jacket is designed for 2-hour hikes at no more than 3 mph.
