This waterproof sailing jacket will keep you warm and dry! A long lined jacket with zipper pockets: a real plus when sailing!
Our designers—and fellow sailors— have developed this jacket for sailing in cold and stormy weather
Waterproofing
We measure the resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (based on the 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 jacket’s waterproofing was tested in a rain shower with 60 liters of water/m²/h for 2 hours.
Hood
The hood is easily stored in the pocket built into the collar. It can be tightened with an adjustable elasticated cord equipped with 2 self-blocking eyelets to better protect you from the elements.
Pockets
1 inner zip pocket lets you safely store your documents and accessories.
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.
2 pockets with a flap to protect small items.
Wrist adjustment
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 = very breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric.
The values for the Trek 500 jacket’s breathability are as follows:
> more resistant fabric: RET < 12 (or 8 lbs/m²/24 h, JIS1099A standard)
> Lightest fabric: RET < 8 (or 6.6 lbs/m²/2
Water-repellent properties information
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in.
Your jacket 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 in practice these properties can be altered.
The water-repellent properties can be reactivated by putting the jacket in a dryer for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature.
How to wash your jacket
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 86°F or 104°F 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 jacket’s water-repellency
Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water-repellent treatment.
We recommend that you lay your jacket 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.
Determining the environmental impact of our products
The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle with different indicators. An ABCDE score is provided to enable easy identification of the most environmentally friendly products when comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks).
Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labeling system.
