Kids’ Waterproof Winter Hiking Jacket SH100 X-Warm -3°C Age 7 - 15

We carry out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory in walking conditions in light winds (5 km/h).The comfort temperature is the calculated air temperature where 70% of users have a "slightly warm" thermal sensation.For this jacket, it’s -3°C.However every individual feels the cold differently.

Your jacket is designed with a waterproof outer component that keeps out water and wind (before washing: The hood and shoulders rate 33,000 Schmerbers, the chest and sleeves rate 27,500 Schmerbers). To keep you warm in winter you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm, waterproof hood, the tightening at the cuffs and the high collar prevent the cold from entering. Two pockets protect your hands from the cold.

We designed your jacket with a coating on the outer fabric to make it waterproof The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm (JIS 1092 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproofing resistance of 20,000 mm resists the pressure of 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers). Validated in a shower test under 60L/sqm/hour of water which is roughly equivalent to a 2 hour rain shower Test carried out before washing.

The seams of a jacket can be taped to prevent water from entering that area.Here, the main seams are taped, which matches the seams of the hood, collar, shoulders, armholes and chest.

To ensure the durability of our products, we perform tests on components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colour fastness, resistance to repeated washing.

Care products: spray or liquid water repellent treatment in the washing machine. To renew the fabric's water repellent-properties and optimise the garment's performance throughout its lifetime, we recommend using these products on every wash at a minimum.

To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle:layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.layer 3: The jacket protects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.

We have incorporated 70% recycled polyester in this product.What does that mean? As well as being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact. In brief: polyester yarn is made from oil. Using recycled polyester is to reclaim and repurpose waste products such as manufacturing remnants or plastic bottles instead of using new oil resources. And that's already a step in the right direction isn't it?
