MAIN COMPONENT

Ultra-light 2.5-layer membrane fabric.

WATERPROOF COMPONENT

This garment was approved in a shower test in 26 gallons of water/sqm/hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a violent storm in the mountains.

Component breathability

Aside from the breathability of the fabrics used, Quechua develops technical solutions (zippers, air holes, mesh) to improve overall ventilation. These ventilation systems allow both temperature regulation inside the garment and help wick away perspiration generated by the body during exercise.

Component with coating or a membrane

Like a layer of “paint” applied on the underside of the fabric to make it waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane, and requires a lining for protection. The membrane is like a very fine plastic film (polyurethane) making the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more supple, lightweight, durable and often more breathable than the coating. Jacket with a membrane.

Component 3 layers, 2 layers or 2.5 layers

3 layers: the membrane is bonded to an inner and outer layer of the component. This construction helps the membrane last longer and boosts the component’s performance. 2 layers: the membrane is only bonded to the outer fabric; the inner protective lining is free. This construction costs less but is generally more cumbersome. 2.5 layers: the membrane has inner protection with a kind of varnish coating rather than an actual layer to make it as lightweight as possible.

Component water-resistance

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. A fabric becomes water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment’s lifetime (with every 3 washes). All Quechua waterproof jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.

A score for comparing products’ environmental impact

The product’s environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifecycle using different indicators.
