Quechua Women's hiking jacket light windproof - MH900

This windproof jacket for regular hikes protects against moderate wind in dry weather. The material has a RET value of under 9 and offers good ventilation in the back and underarm areas. It is ultra-lightweight and can be packed away in a backpack. The close-fitting cut ensures high freedom of movement and light wind protection. The jacket can be combined with a second thin layer of clothing, such as fleece material.

Wind significantly increases the perception of cold. At an outside temperature of 0 °C and a wind speed of 20 km/h, the perceived temperature is -10 °C. Windproof components can reduce such wind chill effects. The wind does not penetrate, and the loss of body heat is effectively prevented.

The breathability of a fabric is determined by its water vapor permeability (RET, Resistance to Evaporative Transfer). According to ISO 11092 standards, a higher value indicates less resistance to the water vapor generated during physical activity. Low resistance means high breathability. This wind jacket has a RET value of under 9, which corresponds to an extremely breathable fabric.
