Waterproofing:
The exclusive Beaufort 2L component is guaranteed to keep you dry even under torrential rain. Thanks to its material component, its shape, and the quality of its construction, while in the rain simulator, your Offshoroa salopettes spent 4 hours under the equivalent of a 300 L/hr/sqm downpour without the tiniest drop seeping through. The material component's waterproofing is guaranteed to more than 10,000 mm of water pressure. All seams are fully taped.
What is a waterproofing test or "shower test?"
Approved test where the garment is placed under a shower simulating different weather conditions. All of our products are certified 100% waterproof, having been tested for 4 hours in rain of 300 L/hr/sqm to 450 L/hr/sqm, depending on the product use. To put this into perspective, the highest recorded rain fall was in the USA in 1942, when 174 L/hr/sqm fell over 4.5 hours (NOAA). The average rainfall in Paris is 2 L/hr/sqm (www.Paris.fr)
Salopettes' fastening:
The injection-molded plastic central zipper is resistant to corrosion from salt water thanks to the special shape of the zipper's teeth. This, combined with an inside flap, ensures the salopettes stay perfectly waterproof.
Reinforcements:
The knee, seat, and heel reinforcements are made of an abrasion and wear resistant material component that strengthens the waterproofing of these vulnerable areas.
Salopettes' waistband:
The waist of the Offshoroa Salopettes is adjustable with semi-elasticized rip-tabs.
Storage:
The large cargo pocket on the right thigh has a letterbox fastening and a storm cord which allows you to keep your equipment safe.
End seals:
The ankles are adjustable with rip-tab straps to limit water entry.
Hand warmer pockets:
Two wide chest pockets closed by injected zips are lined with 240 g (8.5 oz) fleece pockets to keep your hands nice and warm and under cover.
Visibility:
A large reflective 3M patch on the back intensifies low light sources. The Tribord logos are also reflective.
Water repellent component:
The water repellency of your Offshoroa Salopettes is obtained by applying a treatment to its surface. This treatment causes water to slide over the surface without soaking in. This prevents the component from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, breathable, and warm. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifetime. Our line offers products for this purpose; solutions can also be found on the care instructions on how to reactivate your salopettes' water repellent treatment.
How important is windproofing?
Protection from the wind is very important, as wind can chill the body significantly whether you are active or at rest. According to the "wind chill" model, which measures how the air temperature feels when factoring in the wind and cold: at a temperature of 41°F combined with winds of 19 mph, the temperature felt will be 32°F. If the air temperature is 32°F and wind speed is 25 mph, the temperature felt will be 19°F. Your Offshoroa salopettes help to counter the windchill factor.
What is a waterproof and breathable hydrophilic membrane?
The membrane works in stages to wick away perspiration. Firstly, the fabric absorbs water vapor until it is saturated. Then, due to the difference in pressure between inside and outside the jacket, the fabric disperses the water vapor outwards. The main advantage of the hydrophilic membrane is that it does not have pores; consequently, there is no need to constantly rinse the fabric to wash off any salt water crystals. Breathability, therefore, remains constant over time.
Product Testing
Novadry re-creates torrential rain conditions in its weather simulator. In that context, after 4 hours under a torrential rain shower of 300 L/hr/sqm, our garment still kept the user dry. To give you an idea of what this means, the world record for 4.5 hours of precipitation was 174 L/hr/sqm, unmatched since 1942 in the USA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USDC), and when it rains in Paris, the average rainfall is 2 L/hr/sqm (www.Paris.fr).
Composition
Main outer fabric: 100% polyamide Main lining: 100% polyester Secondary lining: 100% polyamide
Storage Instructions
Store in a dry place, but do not leave Novadry® garments on a heat source such as a radiator, as this may damage the breathable membrane or coating.
Care Instructions
Machine wash your Offshoroa waterproof and breathable salopettes at 86°Finside-out with hook and loop strips stuck together. Choose a gentle spin and long rinse cycle. Line dry if possible. Occasional tumble drying on low for a short period of time will improve the water repellent treatment. To reactivate the water repellency, you can also iron the fabric on a warm setting (max. 284°F) or apply the Tribord re-waterproofing spray.
