Tribord SAILING 100

These overtrousers were designed for cruising in stormy weather. They are waterproof and breathable, made from lightweight fabric with adjustable leg length and a practical pocket.

The breathability of the material is measured by the RET test (Resistance of Evaporation of a Textile), which determines the water vapor resistance of a textile (according to standard ISO 11092). The lower the value, the more breathable the garment.

• RET < 9 = extremely breathable
• RET 9–12 = very breathable
• RET 12–20 = breathable
• RET > 20 = hardly or not breathable

Care instructions:

• Rinse with clear water after each use.
• Store dry.
• Wash as little as possible to maintain the water-repellent coating.
• Wash inside out. Synthetic program (30 or 40 °C) with regular detergent. No fabric softener. Pay attention to reduced load in the machine. Perform an additional rinse cycle.
• Air dry.
• Renewing the water-repellent property: Place in the tumble dryer for 10–15 minutes (synthetic program), inside out.

The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is measured in mm water column (test according to standard JIS). The higher the pressure, the more impermeable the fabric. The material has a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm water column – average water pressure during a rain shower. The waterproofness of the trousers was successfully tested for 2 hours at a precipitation rate of 60 l/m²/hour.
