Kid's Hiking Overtrousers Waterproof Age 2-6 - MH100

Our team, made up of parents of young hikers, eco-designed these waterproof overtrousers to protect your child when it is rainy or windy! #### DESIGN THAT REDUCES THE CARBON FOOTPRINT We have improved this product with an eco-design approach. During the design phase, we optimised the placement of the different parts of the jacket in the roll of material (minimal waste) in order to reduce offcuts. #### OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce our environmental impact, we use a mass pigmentation process that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced. #### WATERPROOF FEATURE OF THE COMPONENT 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 garment has been subjected to a shower test using 60 litres of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.A component with a 5,000 mm rating can withstand the pressure of a 5,000 mm column of water (which is equivalent to a 2 hour rain shower) #### 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 fabricRET ≤ 12: breathable fabricRET ≤ 20: little breathabilityOur product has a 12 RET rating #### COMPONENT’S WATERPROOF FEATURE A fabric is water repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifetime (with every or 3 washes). #### TECHNICAL DETAILS Elasticated waist #### 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.
