Can be worn over trousers, leggings or shorts. Caution: no hems possible due to the zips on the side of the legs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain component \u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e3-layer component with membrane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMEMBRANE\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe waterproof rating of a product depends on the following two main criteria: its component and its construction.\nThis product was made with a membrane.\nThis is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable.\nIt has the advantage of being flexible, lightweight and breathable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLAYER DESIGN\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 layer design: The membrane is glued between the outer and inner fabric. We use it for durable and high performance over-trousers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWATERPROOF FEATURE OF THE COMPONENT\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory tests are conducted to guarantee the waterproof rating of a component. To this end, 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.\nThis product's component has a 15,000 mm waterproof rating and can withstand the pressure of a 15,000 mm water column.\nThis is also equivalent to 15000 Schmerbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWATERPROOFING OF THE OVER-TROUSERS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe conduct laboratory tests that simulate rainfall scenarios in order to guarantee the jacket's waterproof rating.\nThis garment has been validated in a shower test under 18 cm of rain for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHOW TO RESTORE THE WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fabric is water repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seeping in. The fabric does not soak up water and therefore remains lightweight and breathable.   The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment. Water-repellent properties can be reactivated by tumble drying the trousers for 10 minutes on low temperature or by using a reactivating spray.( Ref: 8551983)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCOMPONENT BREATHABILITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComponent breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET).\nThis is its capacity to let water vapour generated by the body during physical activity escape and therefore avoid water accumulating on the skin.\nThe lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.\n\nRET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric\nRET ≤ 12: breathable fabric\nRET ≤ 20: not very breathable fabric\nThis product was assessed at 8 RET\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we are aware that we must act to preserve our playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products.Today, this product is not eco-designed, but we work every day to make it more responsible: eco-design, repairability and sustainability are at the heart of our developments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWHERE DO OUR TROUSERS COME FROM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, these over trousers are then manufactured by our suppliers in Bangladesh.\nWe collaborate closely with these partners who have real expertise in the manufacture of over trousers.\nThanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorking conditions in our production workshops\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe guarantee that our suppliers comply with our code of conduct. These suppliers are often located in developing countries where our presence helps to create jobs.\nBy conducting audits and having teams on site, we make sure that the working environment of the employees meets certain quality standards in terms of human respect, personal fulfilment and environmental protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct design: our expertise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur 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.
