Product Description
Keep well protected during excursions in the mountains with this warm and breathable softshell windproof jacket!Designed by our teams to protect you from the wind during a mountain walk in cold weatherWhat is a softshell?It is a warm protective jacket that protects you from the wind and a short downpour (about 30 minutes) of light rain or snow. The fabric used is an assembly of 3 materials: a breathable and windproof micro-porous membrane sandwiched between the water-repellent outer side and the inner face composed of a comfortable and warm fleece.Thermal comfort and windproofThe wind makes you feel considerably colder. With an outside temperature of 32°F and a 12 mph wind, the perceived temperature is 14°F. The so-called "windproof" components block this uncomfortable wind chill. Forming a barrier against the wind, they effectively reduce heat loss.BreathabilityThe main fabric used throughout the jacket, except at the sides, has a windproof membrane with a breathability of 6.2 lbs/sqm for 24 h (according to the JIS 1099 A standard).Water-repellent properties of the component (not to be confused with waterproofing)The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface. However, this property may deteriorate with use. The water-repellent property can be reactivated by putting the jacket in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes on low heat.Recommended additional productWash-in waterproofing product that restores the water-repellent properties https://www.decathlon.co.uk/eco-wash-in-proof-250-ml-id_8408883.html It restores the water-repellent properties of the fabric and optimizes the performance of your garment throughout its lifetime.Jacket hem drawstringWith an elastic drawstrings and toggles.Pocket system2 hand pockets + 1 chest pocket with zipper fastener.A score for comparing products' environmental impactThe product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifecycle using different indicators.
