Quechua Wanderjacke MH500 Kinder Gr. 122–170 wasserdicht Wandern blau

Our development team designed this waterproof jacket to protect children from rain and wind. It offers the best protection for kids playing outdoors, as this lightweight jacket is both water- and windproof. With a ventilation system in the back, it prevents the child from overheating. This jacket was developed in our design center at the foot of Mont Blanc in France and then manufactured by our suppliers in Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh. These partners possess genuine expertise in crafting our jackets, and we work closely with them. This trust-based relationship with our industrial partners allows for the development of new, technically advanced quality products.

To measure the breathability of a material, the RET test method (Resistance to Evaporative Transfer) is used. This measures the material's ability to transfer moisture vapor produced by the body to the outside, keeping the skin dry. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the material. RET ≤ 6: very breathable, RET ≤ 12: breathable, RET ≤ 20: less breathable. Our product has a RET value of 12.

The resistance of a material to water pressure is expressed in mm water column (Norm JIS 1092). The higher the pressure, the more impermeable the fabric. A material with a water impermeability of 5,000 mm can withstand the pressure of a 5 m water column – roughly equivalent to an hour of heavy rain. Waterproofness is indicated as a water column (e.g., 5,000 mm water column). This measurement applies before washing.

The fabric is wind- and waterproof due to its coated inner side, as waterproof materials are also windproof due to their technical properties. To prevent the body from cooling down, it is important to protect against wind both during movement and while resting.
