These ventilation systems allow you to regulate the temperature inside the garment and also to facilitate the transfer of perspiration generated by the body during physical effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent with coating or a membrane\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA coating is like a kind of paint applied to the inside of the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane, and requires a lining for protection. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more durable and often more breathable than a coating.\nJacket with a membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eJacket 2.5 layers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2.5 layers: the membrane has inner protection with a kind of varnish coating rather than an actual layer to make it as lightweight as possible.\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.\nThis location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.\nA great asset for designing your mountain walking products and providing you with all our expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHOW TO RESTORE THE WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES OF MY JACKET?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it.\n This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.\n\nAll the steps to restore the water-repellent properties are below:\nhttps:\/\/conseilsport.decathlon.fr\/conseils\/comment-reactiver-la-deperlance-de-sa-veste-tp_22965\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBREATHABILITY TEST\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe breathability of a material is its capacity to wick away the water vapour generated by perspiration. During intense effort, it is, therefore, essential to wear very breathable clothing so you do not stay wet.\nBreathability is measured by RET, the fabric’s evaporative resistance. The lower the number, the more breathable the fabric:\n\nRET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric\nRET ≤ 12: breathable fabric\nRET ≤ 20: little or no breathability\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quechua","offers":[{"title":"storm blue \/ XS","offer_id":43104512409696,"sku":"ZGVJY 325234","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"storm blue \/ S","offer_id":43104512442464,"sku":"ZGVJY 325234-2","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"storm blue \/ M","offer_id":43104512475232,"sku":"ZGVJY 325234-3","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"storm blue \/ L","offer_id":43104512508000,"sku":"ZGVJY 325234-4","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"storm blue \/ XL","offer_id":43104512540768,"sku":"ZGVJY 325234-5","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/8118\/9984\/files\/k_af32a65e78001909800728651a015909_c7d1bb17-85db-4cd2-b64f-b19041af1271.jpg?v=1787848840","url":"https:\/\/quechuasports.com\/products\/quechua-women-s-ultra-light-waterproof-fast-hiking-jacket-fh500-rain","provider":"Quechua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
