BERMUDES Tested to withstand the sea and approved by great sailors such as Olivier de Kersauson or Erwan Tabarly, the Bermudes brand has been designing quality technical clothing since 1984 that draws its legitimacy and inspiration from the world of boating!
FEATURES Waterproof: The more waterproof the fabric is. Your rain gear is chosen based on several criteria: the type of rain and exposure time will help you determine the level of waterproofness of your rain gear. It is thus considered that a 5000 mm waterproof jacket should allow you to remain dry under a 100 L/h/m² rainfall for over 2 hours. The qualitative character of rainfall is difficult to evaluate, Météo-France considers that in our territory, heavy rain corresponds to a level of precipitation 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 the effort increases, the more the amount of water released will be substantial. Breathability is a fabric's ability to evacuate the water vapor created by the body during exercise. A fabric guaranteeing good breathability limits the condensation of water vapor inside the garment and keeps the body dry, it should be known that even at rest and the more intense the effort will be
Waterproofness It is not enough for the component your jacket is made of to be waterproof to ensure you stay dry; the needle holes needed to assemble your jacket need to be sealed to ensure the product's perfect waterproofness. Velcros, elastics, and cuffs located at the ends also help to limit water ingress. 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 bead on its surface, without absorbing it. Water-repellency is not an inherent quality of the fabric but results from a hydrophobic treatment applied to the outside of the fabric; normal wear, as well as detergents and other impurities, require a reactivation of the water-repellent treatment, or a renewal of the treatment.
Windproof The sensation of cold increases significantly with the wind. The coating and membrane applied to the back of your jacket's fabric constitute a barrier against the wind, thus allowing 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.
