During the design phase, we optimised the placement ofthe different parts of the jacket in the roll of material (minimal waste) inorder to reduce offcuts. ; OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THISPRODUCT: Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste waterfrom the dye baths. To reduce our environmental impact, we use a masspigmentation process that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarnitself is produced. ; WATERPROOF FEATURE OF THE COMPONENT: The resistance of afabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supportedby the fabric (test based on the JIS 1092 standard). The higher the waterpressure, the more waterproof the fabric. This garment has been subjected to ashower test using 60 litres of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This testreproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.Acomponent with a 5,000 mm rating can withstand the pressure of a 5,000 mmcolumn of water (which is equivalent to a 2 hour rain shower) ; COMPONENTBREATHABILITY: Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporativeresistance (RET). This is its capacity to let water vapour generated by thebody during physical activity escape and therefore avoid water accumulating onthe skin. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. RET ≤ 6: verybreathable fabric RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric RET ≤ 20: little breathabilityOur product has a 12 RET rating ; COMPONENT'S WATERPROOF FEATURE: A fabric iswater repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seepingin. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight,warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating thefabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment'slifetime (with every or 3 washes).
