Quechua Women's hiking jacket light windproof - MH900

This windproof jacket for regular hikes protects against moderate winds 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 provides 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 a wind chill effect. 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). Standard ISO 11092. The higher the permeability, the less resistance the fabric offers 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.
