Waterproof hiking overtrousers - NH500 Imper - Men

To also protect your lower body and have a complete set that is very effective in protecting you against wind and showers, we recommend the Raincut 1/2 zip or full zip men's jackets. These jackets are also eco-designed (depending on the colors, mass dyeing process limiting the use of water or recycled fibers).

During physical activity, we sweat more or less depending on the intensity or length of the effort. If the fabric's breathability isn't adapted to the effort, sweat vapor condenses inside the overpants. We get wet inside: it's not the rain that soaks through, but the sweat vapor that condenses. Therefore, you should choose your overpants based on your type of exercise. This product is designed for a two-hour hike at a maximum pace of 5 km/h.

To determine whether a fabric is breathable, its Thermal Evaporative Resistance (RET) coefficient is measured in a test based on ISO 11092. The lower the resistance, the more the fabric allows water vapor generated by the body during activity to escape and is breathable. - RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric - 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric - 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric - RET > 20 = not very breathable fabric

The fabric of these overpants has a waterproof rating of 2000 mm. This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 liters of water / m² / hour for two hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a downpour. The fabric is water-repellent: it lets water slide off its surface without absorbing it. Thus, the textile does not become waterlogged and remains light and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer side of the fabric. In addition, we have sealed 100% of the external seams.

To ensure the fabric's water repellency, we recommend reactivating it regularly. You can do this every three washes (thorough rinsing is essential), or after about ten uses in the rain. You can easily reactivate the water repellency using a hot cycle: - with your tumble dryer for 15 minutes (synthetic cycle) - with a hair dryer 20 cm away, making two back and forth movements - or two passes with the iron, set to delicate without steam function.

The fabric of this jacket is water-repellent: it lets water slide off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the textile from becoming waterlogged and remains lightweight and breathable. Water repellency is achieved through a treatment applied to the outer surface of the fabric. We have initiated a water-repellent treatment process without perfluorocarbons. Thus, throughout 2022, this model will be marketed with a water-repellent treatment.
