TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Component waterproofing
The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height 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 fabricThis clothing was validated in a shower test using 60 L/sqm/hr of water for 1 hourThis test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains
A component with an impermeability of 5,000mm will withstand the pressure exerted by 5,000mm of water (roughly a 1-hour rainfall)
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 or no breathability
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.
Product design: our expertise
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
A great asset for designing your mountain walking products and providing you with all our expertise.
Care
1/ Machine wash (30 to 40°C): fasten hook and loop tabs and zips, use gentle detergent. Wash jackets and trousers inside out. Loosen straps and elastics.
2/ Avoid folding the garment too much in the washing machine: this can damage it.
3/ Do not mix clothing styles and colours.
4/ Do not use bleach or fabric softener
5/ Rinse thoroughly followed by a gentle spin cycle.
6/ Dry either on a washing line or in the drier (minimum temperature & duration)
