Women’s hiking waterproof winter jacket - SH500 -10°C

We developed your jacket for wintry conditions: cold, rain and snow. The insulation is made from 150 g/sqm wadding on the body and 100 g/sqm on the arms combined with a fleece.(synthetic insulating component thanks to the air that it stores in its fibres)
We added an inside flap under the zip fastening to block incoming cold air. The toggle tightening at the jacket hem is the finishing touch to ensure your jacket is comfortable down to -10°.

Your jacket is designed with a waterproof outer component that keeps out water and wind. To keep you warm in winter you must also protect your extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm hood, the Velcro fastenings at the cuffs and the high collar prevent the cold from entering. Two warm pockets in extremely soft fleece protect your hands from the cold.

The waterproof properties of a jacket aren’t just that of its components: the assembly technique of the different parts is also an evaluation criteria.
Whether it be heat-bonded or sewn watertight, the overall waterproof properties of your jacket are measured with a shower test developed by Decathlon that simulates rain or varying intensity.
This waterproof jacket protects you from a shower, equivalent to 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.

The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a membrane is measured in Schmerbers or H²O mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.
This jacket has a waterproof component (JIS 1092 standard) resistant to 5,000 mm H²O (Schmerbers) before washing.

Your jacket is waterproof thanks to the fully taped seams. Waterproof tape is added to the seams inside the garment to make them watertight so that water cannot enter through the more vulnerable areas.
We validated the waterproofing with a shower test specially designed to replicate the conditions of a two-hour shower. We also wore it in the field in all weather conditions to make sure that it is suited to your activities.

Lots of spaces to keep all your accessories safe and handy (tissues, keys, phone, etc.) during your hikes.
Two lined pockets under a flap with a press stud fastening on the outside and a secure pocket with rip-tab fastening inside.
A secure zip pocket also available on the chest.

A fabric's water repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products (spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.

Jacket designed with sufficient volume inside so that a warm second layer such as fleece or light down can be worn.
Its classic cut is ideal for protecting you from the cold and wind during your winter hikes on all types of terrains.

Close-fitting feminine cut. The jacket is designed to be worn with a warm second layer such as a fleece or a light down jacket.

To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle:
layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.
layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.
layer 3: The jacket protects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.
The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.

We have improved this product with an eco-design approach.
The wadding and inner fleece are made from recycled polyester guaranteeing effective product use.
For the sleeves, we use mass pigmentation dyeing just one yarn in every two, and thus reducing our water consumption and impact.

By recycling plastic bottles or second-hand textiles to produce our polyester, we have reduced the utilisation of oil-based resources while preserving the quality and performance of the material during your mountain hikes.

Our products will join you on your mountain walks.
As you progress, they age, and some parts can get worn or break.
We use standard components available on the market to make repair easier.
Our environmental approach at Quechua also supports making these parts available to you.
Don't throw away, repair !

A product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire life cycle using various indicators.
A score from A to E is produced to help you make a responsible choice.
This rating is used to easily identify the products with the best environmental performance.
This is done by making a comparison between products of the same family (e.g. backpacks).
