Kid's Winter Hiking Jacket Waterproof Age 7-15 -3°C - SH100 X-Warm

Our eco-friendly engineers designed this warm jacket to protect your children during their activities while also being respectful towards nature. #### How will this jacket keep my kid warm? 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. #### WATERPROOF PROPERTIES OF THIS JACKET The waterproof properties of a jacket aren’t just that of its components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criteria.Whether it be heat-bonded or sewn watertight, the overall waterproof properties of your jacket are measured with a shower test developed by Decathlon that simulates rain or varying intensity.This waterproof jacket protects you from a shower, equivalent to 6 cm of rain in 1 hour. #### COMPONENT WATERPROOFING OF THIS JACKET The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a membrane is measured in Schmerbers or H²O mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.This jacket has a waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard) resistant to 5,000 mm H²O (Schmerbers) before washing. #### What is the meaning of: ""Taped main seams""? 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. #### Kids quickly get their stuff dirty; can you wash this jacket regularly without damaging it? To ensure the durability of our products, we perform tests on components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colour fastness, resistance to repeated washing. #### How to preserve the technical qualities of this jacket? 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. #### How do I choose the right kids’ clothing for snow hiking? 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. #### ADDITIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION 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?
