Water-repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. 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. You will find out how to reactivate the water repellency of your softshell in our article "Maintaining, washing and repairing waterproof or water-repellent clothing" available on the Forclaz website.
Recommended additional product
To reactivate the water repellency, you can use the textile waterproofing liquid available in stores or on the website under reference 8554908,
It regenerates the water repellency of the fabric and optimises the performance of your garment throughout its life.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
In November 2018, 8 trekkers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team tested this jacket for 4 days in the southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). You can expect wind, rain, a bit of snow, a bivouac... and a lot of fun! We were then able to make the final modifications and validate it for use for mountain trekking.
