Thermal comfort and windproof

Wind considerably increases the effect of the cold! With an outside temperature of 0°C and 20 km/h winds, it will feel like the temperature is -10°C. “Windproof” components help eliminate the discomfort linked to this “freezing effect”. They are very effective at reducing heat loss by creating a barrier against the wind.

Component breathability

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its RET or total evaporative resistance (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity can escape, and the higher the fabric’s breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9<RET<12 = very breathable fabric / 12<RET20 = little or no breathability.
