Care
Use a waterproof spray or wash-in product to restore the water repellent property of the fabric and optimise the performance of your garment throughout its lifetime.
Waterproofing of the garment
this garment has been validated in a shower test under 12 cm rain for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.
Component breathability
Our range of rain ponchos and capes does not have breathable waterproof membranes. We therefore recommend this product when you walk at a gentle relaxed pace rather than a fast hike, in order to reduce sweating!
Component water resistance
A fabric is water repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seeping in.
This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable.
The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior.
This treatment needs to be renewed throughout the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes).
All the Forclaz ponchos and capes have a water repellent treatment.

ProcessDope dyed
100% of the fabric color is made by dyeing the yarn at the source
Dyeing textiles requires lots of water but also leads to lots of water waste generated in dyeing vats. To reduce this environmental impact, we choose solution dyeing, which integrates colour pigments when manufacturing the thread.
