This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower. The fabric of this jacket is water-repellent, which means water runs off the surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged, and keeps it lightweight and breathable. A fabric is made water repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. We have also taped the main seams, those most exposed to the rain. How to ensure your jacket stays waterproof over time In order to maintain good waterproofing over time, the fabric's water repellent properties must be regularly reactivated. We recommend doing this every three washes or after a dozen uses in the rain. The waterproof property can be easily restored by heating the fabric: either in your tumble dryer or with a hair dryer, for example, over a relatively short period. If you are washing it, it must be thoroughly rinsed. Waterproof rating expressed in mm or schmerber A fabric's resistance is measured using water pressure expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (test based on ISO 811) The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A fabric with a waterproof rating of 2000mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 2000mm column of water. Component breathability 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 evaporates, 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 How to choose your waterproof jacket based on your outings and level of exertion During a sporting activity, you perspires to varying degrees, depending on the intensity or length of the effort. If the fabric's breathability is not suited to the type of activity/exercise, your perspiration will condense inside the jacket. You feel damp inside: this isn't rain getting through, but condensation from sweat. You need to choose a rain jacket in line with your type of activity. This rain jacket is designed for 2-hour hikes at no more than 5km/h. A score for comparing products' environmental impact On a scale from A to E, this product scored a B. Our products' environmental impact is calculated over their entire life cycle. A rating from A to E is given to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing and contrasting products of the same type (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks). Decathlon actively promotes this environmental rating initiative.

This is why, for the turquoise colour of this jacket, we have opted for a material made entirely from recycled polyester fibres to limit our CO2 impact. Additional recommended products We recommend the NH500 Waterproof Trousers to protect your lower body too.
