Waterproofing:
The exclusive Novadry Swell component is guaranteed to keep you dry even in a downpour. In the rain simulator, the anorak spent 4 hours under the equivalent of a 100 L/hr/sqm shower without the tiniest drop getting through the product. The component's waterproofing is guaranteed to withstand more than 5000 mm of water pressure. All seams are 100% sealed.
Waistband:
The flat, semi elasticated waistband offers a remarkable degree of comfort and freedom of movement. The back is slightly longer than the front, affording protection even when bending over.
Cuff adjustment:
The cuffs are both elastic and adjustable thanks to two self-gripping strips. This double feature means the cuffs can be adjusted to fit your wrists to help prevent air and water from getting in.
Protection of documents and accessories:
The inner zip pocket lets you keep your documents and accessories safe and protect them from water and damp.
Hand pockets:
Two big, zipped, hand-warmer pockets let you protect your hands from the wind and rain and keep your accessories safe.
Jacket lining:
Made using two materials (nylon and mesh), the lining has been specially designed for optimum moisture wicking by creating natural air circulation.
Jacket fastening:
The injection-moulded plastic front and pocket zips are oxidation-resistant thanks to the special shape of the teeth. There is also a zip flap with drainage for optimum waterproofing.
What is a waterproofing test or "shower test"?
Approved test where the garment is placed under a shower simulating different weather conditions. All our products are certified 100% waterproof having been tested for 4+ hours in rain of 100 L/hr/sqm to 450 L/hr/sqm depending on the product use. To put this into perspective, the highest recorded rain fall was in the USA in 1942, when 174 L/hr/sqm fell over 4.5 hours (NOAA). The average rainfall in Paris is 2 L/hr/sqm (www.Paris.fr)
