Does the NH100 jacket really keep you warm?
The insulation of this jacket (100g/sqm wadding on the body and arms) is ideal for winter conditions such as cold, rain and snow. The fleece-lined pockets and hood ensure that your head and hands stay well protected and warm. The elasticated cuffs and jacket hem prevent cold and moisture from getting in, ensuring effective thermal insulation.
What does “recommended temperature” mean?
When we state that the jacket is comfortable down to -5°C, this is based on the results of our tests. The temperature indicated corresponds to the outdoor thermal equilibrium temperature at which 95% of users, hiking at a moderate pace in controlled conditions, reported feeling neither too hot nor too cold. This is an average: of course, everyone has their own tolerance to cold.
Is this jacket waterproof?
Waterproofing, achieved through a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerbers or mm H₂O (the pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. Here, we used a coating, and the component is waterproof to 8,000mm Schmerbers (before washing).
In addition, to ensure greater waterproofing, the main seams of the NH100 jacket are taped using waterproof adhesive strips applied to the inside of the garment.
What accessories does the NH100 jacket feature?
Two lined pockets give you easy access to all your essentials (tissues, keys, mobile phone, etc.) during your hiking trips or everyday outings.
A ski-pass pocket has been added to the forearm so that this jacket can see you through the whole winter, even on the slopes!
What should I wear under my jacket for hiking in the snow?
To dress appropriately for winter, we recommend following the 3-layer rule:
1. A technical base layer, which wicks away moisture to keep you dry.
2. A second layer (fleece, jumper), which provides warmth and wicks away moisture. And that’s a good thing - this jacket is designed so you can wear a fleece underneath!
3. A waterproof jacket that protects against the elements: rain, snow, wind.
How do I look after my winter jacket?
Close the zips, loosen the ties and follow the instructions on the label.
You can use the tumble dryer or leave it to air dry, adding 5 minutes with a hairdryer (the heat helps with waterproofing).

How do I restore my NH100 jacket's water-repellent properties?
The water-repellent finish on your jacket needs to be reactivated regularly (every 3 washes): over time, even though it remains waterproof thanks to the material, it will appear to absorb water. To do this, use a reactivating spray or a re-coating product and follow the tutorials on our after-sales service website.
