Women's Sailing Wind-proof Waterproof Anorak Raincoat Sailing 100 black

1/2 WATERPROOFING

We measure the resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure withstood by the fabric, the more waterproof it is.

Here are the waterproofing ratings:

Component resistant to water pressure of 15,000 mm before and after ageing (5 washes). This equates to 15 000 Schmerber - average pressure exerted by the water during rain.

The jacket's waterproofing has been tested in a rain shower with 60 litres of water / m² / hour for hours

2/2 WATERPROOFING

- Semi-high neck

- Injection-moulded plastic zip to avoid salt oxidation

- Water-repellent components (water runs off the fabric)

- 100% waterproofed seams

- Central opening features with a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing

BREATHABILITY

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporate resistance or RET (ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more moisture is evaporated, and therefore the higher the fabric's breathability.

We consider that if:

RET < 9 = highly breathable fabric

9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric

The RET of the Sailing 100 anorak is 12.

FRONT ZIP FASTENER

Using zip on the entire anorak length with an interior flap that protects against the wind and water.

Soft fabric flap on the top of the collar to protect the chin.

HOOD

The hood can be stored in the collar.This gives your anorak a completely different look!

Completely depth and height-adjustable hood.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE ANORAK'S WATER REPELLENCY

Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment.

We recommend that you lay your anorak flat on a clothes rack and leave it out to dry in the open. Caution: never dry your anorak directly on a radiator.Then place it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round. Caution: do not over-dry the garment.

How to wash your anorak?

To maintain the water repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended.

Close all zips and flaps, empty all pockets and then turn the garment inside out to wash it. You can wash it on a synthetic cycle at 30°C or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric conditi1r, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach.

Very important: choose a full rinse cycle or extra rinse.

Pockets

Two zip pockets on the front of the anorak to put your hands or some items

One inside pocket on the right side of the chest with a rip-tab closing

NOTE: the pockets are NOT WATERPROOF

WATER-REPELLENCE INFORMATION

A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in.

Your anorak does not become waterlogged and remains lightweight and breathable. The water-repellent properties are achieved with a treatment applied to the external side of the fabric, but in practice these properties can be altered.

The water-repellent properties can be reactivated by putting the anorak in a drier for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.
