Quechua Kids’ Hiking Over Trousers – MH500 Aged 7-15

Our hiking designers have developed these MH500 waterproof trousers to protect your child from the rain and wind as they enjoy walking in the mountains.Comfortable and adjustable, the trousers adapt to your child. These children’s waterproof trousers can be slipped into the bottom of a bag and offer full protection in case of heavy rain or showers.

WATERPROOF FEATURE OF THE COMPONENT

The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the JIS 1092 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 L of water/sqm/hour for 1 hour. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.
A component with a 5,000 mm rating can withstand the pressure of a 5,000 mm column of water (which is equivalent to an hour-long rain shower)

COMPONENT BREATHABILITY

Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET).
This is its capacity to let water vapour generated by the body during physical activity escape and therefore avoid water accumulating on the skin.
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little breathability

Our product has a 12 RET rating

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH

Because we are aware that we must act to preserve our playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products.
Today, this product is not eco-designed, but we work every day to make it more responsible: eco-design, repairability and sustainability are at the heart of our developments.

WHERE DO OUR TROUSERS COME FROM?

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, these trousers are then manufactured by our suppliers in Bangladesh.
We collaborate closely with these partners who have real expertise in the manufacture of our trousers.
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.

Working conditions in our production workshops

We guarantee that our suppliers comply with our code of conduct. These suppliers are often located in developing countries where our presence helps to create jobs.
By conducting audits and having teams on site, we make sure that the working environment of the employees meets certain quality standards in terms of human respect, personal fulfilment and environmental protection.
