Do you want to move fast and free in the mountains? Weighing just 6.3 oz, this jacket will enable you to travel light, sure of being well protected in light to moderate rain and wind.
At the foot of Mont Blanc, our team of enthusiasts has designed this waterproof hybrid jacket for Hiking fans.
Sizing and fit information
Fitted cut. The inner volume means that this jacket can be worn with a thin lightweight 2nd layer, such as a fleece or light down jacket.
Hood
Stiff visor for maximum face protection.
Pocket system
1 chest pocket with a waterproof zipper, which the jacket folds up into.
Main components
Blue part – waterproof, breathable 2.5-layer membrane component.
White part – extremely water-repellent, windproof component. This improves the lightness, compressibility, and breathability of the jacket. All seams are sealed to enhance overall waterproofing
Component breathability
Aside from the breathability of the fabrics used, Quechua develops technical solutions (zippers, air holes, mesh, etc.) to improve overall ventilation of all its jackets. These ventilation systems regulate the temperature inside the garment while also helping to wick away perspiration generated by the body during physical activity.
Component with coating or a membrane
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 with a membrane.
Component 3 layers, 2 layers, or 2.5 layers
3 layers: The membrane is glued between the 2 inner and outer layers of the component. This structure increases the longevity of the membrane and the performance of the fabric. 2 layers: The membrane is glued only to the outer fabric; The inner protective lining is free. This structure 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.
Water-repellent property of the component
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. As a result, the fabric does not soak up water and stays light, breathable, and warm. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes). All Quechua waterproof jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.
A score for comparing the products’ environmental impact
The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle and using various indicators. An overall ABCDE score is given to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon is committed to displaying environmental information about its products. For more information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
