Waterproofing 1/2
We measure the resistance of a fabric to water pressure in mm of water column (JIS standard). The higher the water pressure withstood by the fabric, the more waterproof it is.
Here are the waterproofing ratings:
The component can withstand water pressure of 5,000 mm Schmerber, which is the average pressure applied by the water during a shower.
The anorak's waterproofing was tested in a rain shower with 60 litres of water / m² / hour for 2 hours.
How to wash your salopettes?
To maintain the water repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended.
Close all zips and flaps, empty all pockets and then turn the garment inside out to wash it. You can wash it on a synthetic cycle at 30°C or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach. Very important: choose a full-rinse cycle or extra rinse.
How to reactivate the water repellency of your salopettes?
Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment.
We recommend that you lay your anorak flat on a clothes rack and leave it out to dry in the open. Caution: never dry your anorak directly on a radiator.
Then place it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round. Caution: do not over-dry the garment.
