Women's Waterproof Hiking Jacket - NH550 Imper

This jacket has been validated in a shower test under 60L of water /sqm/h for 2h:It protects you from a shower equal to 12 cm of rain in 2hThe fabric of this jacket has a waterproof rating of 2000mmWe measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (ISO 811 standard)The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabricA component with a waterproof rating of 2,000mm can withstand the pressure exerted by a 2,000 mm water column.

To maintain a durable water-repellent fabric, we recommend reactivating it regularly.
Do this every three washes (it is important to rinse abundantly) or after a dozen uses in the rain.
You can easily reactivate the water repellent property by warming the fabric:
- in a tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic program) - with a hair dryer at a distance of 20 cm by going back and forth twice
- or two passes with an iron on the delicate setting without the steam function.

The fabric of this jacket is breathable: RET = 12.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 vapour 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

The hood can be adjusted in height using a drawstring. It can be adjusted in depth thanks to a velcro tab at the back of the hood. The hood has a shape memory visor for good protection of the face.

The jacket lining is made up of two materials: mesh in the back to improve the garment's breathability and nylon at the hips to maximise ease of movement and resistance to wear. We have used an ultra-soft fabric on the hood for added comfort.

The jacket has seven pockets in total! Two side pockets for warming your hands. Two large external bellows pockets with a flap and press stud closure. One outer chest pocket and one inside pocket with zip closing to secure your personal belongings. One inner mesh pocket, to keep your gloves for example, and keep them warm against your body!

This jacket is designed for a day hike at a speed of 5 km/h on level ground.
During sports activity, the extent to which we perspire depends on the intensity or the duration of the physical effort If the breathability of the fabric is not adapted to your type of physical activity, the perspiration vapour condenses inside the jacket You will feel damp inside this is not rain coming through but perspiration vapour condensing Choose a waterproof jacket according to your level of physical activity.
