Tribord Women’s Waterproof Sailing Jacket 100 – All Over Pink – XL

Our designers-and fellow sailors-developed this inshore sailing jacket for sailing in warm and stormy weather.

Benefits:
– waterproof:
– moderate rain for 2 hrs
– 5,000 mm schmerber (jis standard)
– pockets not waterproof
– breathability: very breathable coated fabric (ret 12): reduces condensation
– pockets: 3 secure pockets, including 1 inner pocket
– windproof: fabric especially coated to reduce the cooling effect of the wind.
– water repellent: especially treated so water slides off the fabric surface.
– compact design: compact, the jacket folds away into its hood
– water resistance: materials and zips resistant to salt water and sea air.

Waterproofing 1/2:
– we measure the resistance of a fabric to water pressure in mm of water column (based on iso 811 ).
– 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 5,000 mm before and after ageing (5 washes).
– this equates to 5,000 schmerber – average pressure exerted by the water during rain.
– the anorak’s waterproofness was tested in a rain shower with 60 litres of water/m /hour for 2 hours.

Waterproofing 2/2:
– high collar
– injection-moulded plastic to avoid salt oxidation
– water-repellent components (water runs off the fabric)
– 100% taped seams
– central opening features a flap with a drainage channel for optimal waterproofing

Hood:
– the hood does not pack down into the collar, it is attached.
– completely depth and height-adjustable hood.
– visor with a headband to provide a good level of protection and a better hold.
– the high neck effectively protects the neck.

Pockets:
– 2 zip pockets on the front of the jacket to put your hands or some items
– 1 inside pocket on the right side of the chest with a rip-tab closing
– note: the pockets are not waterproof

Front zip closure:
– a zip on the entire jacket length with an interior flap protects against the wind and water.
– soft fabric flap on the top of the collar to protect the chin.

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 3621 g/m /24 h, jis1099a standard)
– lightest fabric: ret 8 (or 2972 g/m /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 zips and flaps, empty all pockets and then turn the garment inside out to wash it.
– you can wash it on a synthetic cycle at 30 c or 40 c with your usual detergent.
– do not use fabric conditioner, 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 them in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round.
– caution: do not over-dry the garment.

Tips for storage and maintenance:
– any type of ironing allowed.
– maximum wash temperature of 30 c.
– very moderate treatment.
– do not tumble dry.
– maximum wash temperature 70 c.
– normal treatment.
– ironing at a maximum iron soleplate temperature of 200 c.
