Bow WR Lady JKT is the women's jacket made up of three layers, with a water resistant membrane that makes it rainproof and windproof. Lightweight and highly breathable, it's just what you need when temperatures get more pleasant.. Easy and convenient to store in the back pockets, thanks to which it can also be used in the summer. The fit is tight, an uncommon feature in rainwear, water resistant up to 20.000 mm. What does this mean?
The indication of the water column is established through a laboratory test in which a tube 2,5 cm in diameter is placed on a piece of test fabricWater is poured into the tube and it is measured how far this water can rise in the tube before the pressure on the material causes the water to penetrate through the material. The value of 20.000 mm for this jacket by Nalini, for example, means that the water column would have to be 20 meters high for the pressure to be such that the water passes through the fabricThe retail price is 156 euros.
The seams on the shoulders and sleeves are heat-taped to prevent water infiltration. The pockets in the men's version have a classic cut.
