Kids' Waterproof Hiking Jacket - MH100 Navy Blue and Pink - age 7-15 years

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 fabric.This clothing was validated in a shower test using 60 L/sqm/hr of water for 1h. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains. A component with a 5,000mm rating can withstand the pressure of a 5,000mm column of water (the equivalent to a 1h rain shower)

To assess the breathability of the fabric, the evaporative resistance, RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard), is measured. The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity is evaporated, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability.

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this jacket is then manufactured by our suppliers in Bangladesh and Ethiopia.These are partners that have genuine expertise in making our tents and with whom we are in close collaboration.Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.
