WATERPROOFING OF MEN'S OILSKIN
Men’s waterproof oilskin with 2-layer fabric.
Tested under moderate rain corresponding to 60 L/m2/h (= rainfall of 60 mm/h) The rain shower simulator reproduces these conditions for 2 hours.
Fabric is resistant to water pressure of 15,000 mm Schmerber (JIS standard). Water-repellent fabric (water runs off the fabric).
The seams are 100% watertight.
Central opening features a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing
BREATHABILITY
RET < 9, meaning it’s highly breathable.
To find out whether the fabric breathability, we measure its evaporative resistance, or RET, (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). It is its ability to allow the water vapour produced by the body during exercise to escape.
Sleeves
To ensure good comfort at the wrists, we’ve added an extendible element to the sleeve cuff. This will keep body heat in and reduce wind getting into your sleeves.
On the top, you can adjust the sleeve end with the adjustable cuff using the velcro fastening.
POCKETS
This long waxed jacket has 3 secure pockets:
- 2 spacious, warm, fleece-lined pockets on the front
- 1 inside zipped pocket on the left side
FEATURES AND COMFORT
Dual-direction zip fastening so that you can open the jacket from the bottom to allow for greater range of movement for your legs.
HOOD ADJUSTMENT
The hood can be adjusted in 2 places:
- 1 head adjustment to adapt the depth
- 1 adjustment on each side to pull the jacket closer to your face. For more discretion, the adjustment has been positioned inside the hood
A discreet visor is included on the front of the hood to prevent rain running into your face.
RESISTANCE TO WEAR
Injected plastic central zip resistant to salt oxidation.
HOW TO REACTIVATE THE ANORAK'S WATER REPELLENCY
step 1: before washing
Close all zips and flaps and remove any parts of the clothing that cannot be washed. Also remember to loosen the straps and elastic parts and empty the pockets. Then turn the clothing inside out to wash it.

step 2: washing
You can wash your jacket on a synthetic cycle at 30° or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach.
Also take care not to bend your jacket too much when you place it in the washing machine and do not overload your machine.
Very important: select a thorough rinse or double rinse to completely remove all detergent residue.

step 3: drying
If, despite this procedure of washing and thorough rinsing followed by gentle drying in a tumble dryer, the drops of water no longer run off the surface of your jacket, we recommend that you "re-waterproof" it using a waterproofing spray.
Tips for storage and maintenance
Machine wash - 30° max - gentle
Do not bleach
Tumble dry - low heat
Do not iron
Do not dry-clean
Storage tips
Store in a dry place, but do not leave on a heat source such as a radiator, as this may damage the breathable membrane.
