TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What is the hybrid construction of these women’s waterproof over-trousers?
These bi-material over-trousers combine:
- A durable and protective fabric (147 g/m2; 70 denier) on areas to be protected from rubbing (knees, lower leg, buttocks)
- A light and breathable fabric (109 g/m2; 20 denier) on the areas that are less affected.
What are the advantages of the side zips on these waterproof over-trousers?
The use of a watertight zip fitted with a dual slide allows you to:
- Easily put on over-trousers without having to remove your boots,
- Regulate your body temperature.
Press studs at the waist and ankles offer a better fit in line with your body shape.
What features ensure adherence of the over-trousers over your boots to hold them in place?
- The bottom of the trouser leg has an elastic strip with silicone inside to improve grip on the boot.
- A hook at the bottom of each leg allows you to attach it to the laces of the boot to prevent the over-trousers from riding up while walking.
How waterproof are these over-trousers?
The water resistance of a fabric, ensured by a coating or a membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm of water (pressure exerted by a column of water).
This jacket has two waterproof components (norm JIS L 1092):
- The main fabric is highly waterproof. It can withstand 20,000 mm of water (Schmerber rating) before washing,
- The secondary fabric is at thigh level and can withstand 20,000 mm of water (Schmerber rating) before washing.
What is the breathability rating of the components?
To know if a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 1099 B1 standard)The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates & the higher the fabric's breathability
It is considered that if:
- RET < 9 = highly breathable fab.
- 9 < RET < 12 = breathable fab.
Here are the breathability values of the over-trousers:
- RET < 8 for the main fab. (the lightest)
- RET < 12 for the secondary fab. (the most durable)
How do you care for your waterproof over-trousers to make them more durable?
If your over-trousers need washing, here’s the process to follow:
- Choose a washing detergent suitable for technical clothing.
- Machine wash at 30°C max. Do not wash your garment at the same time as other clothes that may be very dirty.
- Tumble dry (10 minutes at low temperature), or air dry.
- Once dry, use a water-repellency reactivator spray.
