TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Features of the 300 jacket
Compared with our 100 jacket, the 300 jacket:
- more waterproof (15,000 Schmerbers) and stretchy fabric
- rip-tab wrist fastening
- inner under flap with a drainage channel

Technical features of the component
Laminated fabric. Waterproof fabric: 15,000 Schmerbers
- Water-repellent fabric (water runs off the fabric)
- 100% taped seams
Collar and hood
The hood can be stored in the collar. The collar is then fastened with plastic press studs to prevent oxidation by salt.
Completely depth and height-adjustable hood: adjustable at the back of hood and on the collar.
The chin-high neck effectively protects the lower part of your face. 9 cm high collar (at the back)
Sleeve protection
The end of the sleeve is adjustable with a rip-tab. It lets you adjust the sleeve to your arm length, but also stops air and water coming in.
To take off the jacket more easily, fully open the rip-tab
Front zip closure
The zip along the entire length is protected by an internal flap with a drainage channel for better waterproofing.
Soft fabric flap at the top of the collar to limit chin irritation.
Injected plastic zip to prevent oxidation by salt
Pockets
2 pockets on the front of the jacket, for your VHF, sail tie, cap, etc. Injection-moulded plastic zip to prevent salt oxidation
1 inside chest pocket on the left side to store your phone or other items, fastened with a zip
1 inside chest pocket on the right side fastened by hook and loop
PLEASE NOTE: the pockets are NOT WATERPROOF
Waterproofing 1/2 - the 300 jacket’s component
We measure a fabric’s resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (JIS 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 5,000 mm after ageing (5 washes). Equates to 15,000 Schmerber (JIS standard), which is the average pressure applied by the water in a shower.
The anorak’s waterproofness was tested in a rain shower with 60 litres of water/m²/hour for 2 hours.
Component 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 = very breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric.
The Sailing 300 vest’s RET is 12.
Water-repellent properties information
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in.
Your jacket 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 jacket in a dryer for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.
How to wash your jacket?
To maintain the water repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended.
Close all zips and flaps, stow the hood 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 conditioner, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach. Very important: choose a full rinse cycle or extra rinse.
How to reactivate the jacket’s water repellency
Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment.
We recommend that you lay your jacket flat on a clothes rack and leave it out to dry in the open. Caution: never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.
Then put them 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.
