With its high collar, adjusted cut, adjustable hood and protected zip pockets, this waterproof and breathable sailing jacket will provide you with comfort and warmth while sailing.
Our designersโand fellow sailorsโhave developed this jacket for sailing in cold and stormy weather.
Waterproofing
We measure the resistance to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (based on ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure withstood by the fabric, the more waterproof it is.
Here are the waterproofing ratings:
Component resistant to water pressure of 2,000 mm after aging (5 washes). This equates to 2,000 Schmerbers – average pressure exerted by the water during rain.
The anorak’s waterproof was tested in a rain shower with 60 liters of water / mยฒ / hour for 2 hours.
Hood
The hood is detachable using press studs. It can be tightened with an adjustable elastic cord equipped with 2 self-blocking eyelets to better protect you from the elements.
Hand-warmer pockets
2 big zipped hand-warmer pockets protect your hands from the wind and rain and keep your accessories safe. The lining keeps your fingers warm and dry.
Wrist support
The cuffs has the hook and loop, so that you can adjust the fit at the wrist and prevent air and water from getting inside.
Jacket fastening
The special shape of the teeth makes the injection-molded plastic front and pocket zippers oxidation-resistant. It has an exterior flap and a placket with a gutter that guarantees optimal waterproofing. The hem adjusts using an adjustable elastic with a blocking eyelet.
Jacket lining:
The jacket is lined with padding combined with microfiber to provide thermal protection.
Fabric breathability
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporate resistance or RET (ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more moisture is evaporated, and therefore the higher the fabric’s breathability.
We consider that if:
RET < 9 = highly breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric
The RET of the Sailing jacket 100 is 12.
Water-repellent properties information
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in.
Your anorak does not become waterlogged and remains lightweight and breathable. The water-repellent properties are achieved with a treatment applied to the external side of the fabric, but with regular use, these properties can weaken.
The water-repellent properties can be reactivated by putting the anorak in a drier for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.
How important is windproofing?
Protection from the wind is critical, as wind can chill the body significantly whether you are active or at rest. According to the “wind-chill” model, which measures the temperature felt depending on the wind and cold: At a temperature of 41ยฐF combined with winds of 19 mph, the apparent temperature will be 32ยฐF. If the air temperature is 32ยฐF and wind speed is 25 mph, the temperature felt will be 19ยฐF. Your 100 warm jacket counters the wind-chill effect.
How to wash your anorak
To maintain the water-repellent properties, infrequent washing is recommended.
Close all zippers and flaps, empty all pockets, and then turn the garment inside out to wash it. You can wash it on a synthetic cycle at 86ยฐF or 104ยฐF with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric softener, 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 anorak’s water repellency
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 jacket 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 around. Caution: Do not over-dry the garment.
