This jacket is constructed with 2 coated layers, including a mesh lining (wide mesh lining). "2 layers" means that there is the outer fabric and the lining. A coating is applied inside the fabric, it is similar to a resin that makes the component waterproof, while remaining breathable. The role of the inner lining of the jacket is to protect this coating.

Impermeability is measured by the resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (JIS 1092 standard). The higher the pressure, the more the fabric is impermeable. The component of this product has a waterproofness of 5 mm and therefore resists the pressure exerted by 000 mm of water column. This is also equivalent to 5 Schmerbers.

The breathability of a component is measured by its “Thermal Evaporative Resistance” (RET). accumulation of water on the skin. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric. RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric RET ≤ 20: poorly breathable fabric Our product has a RET of 12.

The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide over its surface, without absorbing it. Thus, your jacket does not soak up water and remains light and breathable. The water repellency is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but with use these properties can be altered.
