BREATHABILITY

RET <12: very breathable.

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance, or RET, (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). It is its ability to allow the water vapor produced by the body during exercise to escape.

FEATURES

– Injected plastic central zipper
– Elasticated, adjustable straps and elasticated waistband.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET’S WATER-REPELLENCY
step 1: before washing

Close all zippers and flaps and remove any parts of the garment that cannot be washed. Also remember to loosen the straps and elastic parts and empty the pockets.
Then turn the garment inside out to wash it.

step 2: washing

You can wash your jacket on a synthetic cycle at 86°F or 104°F with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric softener, which could damage the existing performance of the garment, or bleach.

Also take care not to bend your jacket too much when you place it in the washing machine and do not overload your machine.

Very important: select a thorough rinse or double rinse to completely remove all detergent residue.

step 3: drying

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 it in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way around. Caution: do not overdry the garment.

HOW TO REACTIVATE THE JACKET’S WATER-REPELLENCY

If, despite this procedure of washing and thorough rinsing followed by gentle drying in a tumble dryer, the drops of water no longer run off the surface of your jacket, we recommend that you “re-waterproof” it using a waterproofing spray sold in our stores.

Composition

Main fabric : 100.0% Polyamide
Main lining : 100.0% Polyester cationic

Care Instructions

Machine wash your Kostalde Men’s waterproof sailing salopettes at 86°F. Turn inside out and fasten the velcro. Choose a long rinse and gentle spin cycle. Line dry if possible. Occasional tumble drying on low for a short period of time will improve the water repellent treatment. To reactivate the water repellency, you can also warm iron the fabric (max 284°F) or apply the Tribord re-waterproofing spray.
