Kids’ Hiking Softshell Jacket MH900 TW - 7-15 YEARS

Windproof:

Water-repellency is a feature obtained by applying a treatment that prevents water from adhering to the surface of the fabric.

It "slides off" without being absorbed, so the garment remains light, breathable and warm. Please note, this does not mean it is waterproof.

This treatment can be repeated to keep all its effectiveness. Use sprays that are applied to the outside, rather than additives used when washing the garment, which can damage the product's breathability.

Water-repellent properties:

Wind protection is very important because of the significant chill effect that wind can have on the body, whether you are active or at rest.According to the "windchill" model, which measures how the air temperature feels when factoring in the wind & cold:At a temperature of 5°C combined with winds of 30km/h, the temperature felt will be 0°C. If the air temperature is 0°C & wind speed is 30km/h, the temperature felt will be -6°C. The materials used help to counter the chilling effects of the wind

Microporous membrane:

The membrane is a polyurethane layer sandwiched between the softshell jacket's inner and outer fabrics. It protects from the wind and therefore ensures that body heat does not escape. This membrane is also breathable: it wicks away water vapour generated by the body through its microscopic pores to the outside of the garment, preventing moisture build-up and keeping you warm and dry!
