Product waterproofing
Waterproofing is a fabric's ability to prevent rain water from passing through. A fabric's waterproofing is determined by measuring its resistance to the pressure exerted by a water column, measured in mm (test based on ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
Material with a waterproof rating of 2000 mm resists the pressure exerted by 2000 mm of water (which roughly corresponds to a 2-hour rain shower).
Breathability
To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (test based on standard ISO 11092).
The lower its resistance, the more the fabric will let water vapour produced by the body escape, and therefore the more breathable it is.
Compatibility with Vioo Clip lights
This product has a space for fitting a VIOO Clip, an LED light that can be clipped on anywhere and taken off in one go.
With a red or white light that lets the user choose between continuous or flashing modes, the VIOO CLIP makes you clearly visible from up to 120m away. Battery life is 9 hours in flashing mode, 4½ hours in continuous mode. Easy to recharge via a USB cable (sold with the VIOO Clip).
Product tests
Our team of product designers is based at the B'Twin Village in Lille (France). All year round, we conceive and develop new products that are easy to use, look great, and have the technical features needed for your cycling experiences.
They are then mercilessly put to the test by users in the field, as we are convinced that only by subjecting our products to real world conditions, such as the ones you will experience on your bike, can we continuously improve them.
Care tips
Machine wash at 30°C. Synthetic programme. Turn the garment inside out. Do not add softener. Line dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.
A rating to compare products' environmental impact
A product's environmental impact is calculated for its entire life cycle using various indicators. Products are then given an ABCDE rating to help you compare products of the same type (T-shirts, bottoms, backpacks, etc.) to easily identify the ones with the best environmental performance.
Decathlon voluntarily chooses to display the environmental ratings of its products.
