Kids’ Hiking Waterproof Jacket MH500 7-15 Years - green

Component waterproofing

The resistance of a fabric is measured by the pressure of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the JIS 1092 Standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.

Windproof effect

Coating applied to the fabric makes it waterproof and windproof. Waterproof fabric has the necessary technical characteristics to be considered windproof. Protection from the wind is critical, as whether playing sports or at rest, wind can chill the body significantly.

Component breathability

Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET).

This is its capacity to let water vapour generated by the body during physical activity escape and therefore avoid water accumulating on the skin.

The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.

RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric

RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric

RET ≤ 20: little breathability



Our product has a 12 RET rating

Durability of the components

Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we check that our fleeces do not pill using tests conducted in laboratories. Colour retention test: the colour fastness is verified to ensure that the colours do not bleed when coming into contact with saliva. Ageing test: repeated washing should not affect the fabric's properties, behaviour, thickness or appearance.

Technical details:

Elasticated cuffs. Inner lining mesh, ventilated back. Media pocket with headphone feed.

Care
