BERMUDES Tested at sea and approved by the greatest navigators such as Olivier de Kersauson or Erwan Tabarly, the Bermudes brand has been designing quality technical clothing since 1984, drawing its legitimacy and inspiration from the world of boating!
FEATURES Waterproof: The more waterproof the fabric. Your rain gear is chosen based on several criteria: the type of rain and exposure time will help you define the level of waterproofing of your rain gear. It is considered that a water-resistant jacket at 5000 mm should allow you to stay dry under a rain of 100 L/h/m² for more than 2 hours. The qualitative character of precipitation is difficult to assess, Météo-France considers that a heavy rain corresponds to a precipitation level of 8 L/h/m², far from these records!

Breathable The human body produces about 0.06 liters of water per hour at rest, and the more intense the effort, the larger the amount of water released. Breathability is the ability of a fabric to evacuate the water vapor created by the body in effort. A fabric guaranteeing good breathability limits the condensation of water vapor inside the garment and keeps the body dry, even when resting and the more intense the effort
Waterproof It is not enough that the component your jacket is made of is waterproof to ensure you stay dry; the needle holes needed to assemble your jacket must be sealed to ensure perfect waterproofing of the product. Velcros, elastics and cuffs located at the ends also help to limit water entry. On our sealed pieces you will find an example with the carteline.
Water Repellency The water-repellent characteristics of a material should not be confused with its waterproofness: the water-repellency of a fabric corresponds to its ability to let water pearl on its surface, without absorbing it. Water repellency is not an intrinsic quality of the fabric but results from a hydrophobic treatment applied to the outer surface of the fabric; normal wear and tear, as well as detergents and other impurities, require reactivation of the water-repellent treatment, or renewal of the treatment.
Windproof The feeling of cold increases significantly with the wind. The coating and membrane applied to the back of your jacket's fabric provide a barrier against the wind and thus allow you to limit heat loss.
Semi-Waterproof During bad weather, it is the upper part of your jacket that is particularly exposed. That's why, for even more comfort and technicality, the main seams of your garment are sealed.
