Zizzi Functional Lightweight Parka

Parka jacket from Zizzi.

Warm parka jacket with detachable hood with adjustable drawstrings. The jacket has side pockets with a hidden snap button closure, inner zipper pocket and closes with a waterproof two-way zipper. The sleeves are finished with ribbed cuffs to prevent wind from coming through.

• This jacket has a water column pressure of 8,000 mm

The water column pressure stated for the jacket refers to a measurement of the water repellency of the fabric. It indicates the amount of water in millimeters that can be pressed against the fabric, before water begins to permeate and soak through.

When it comes to waterproof materials, a waterproof membrane or coating is often used. It can be a thin film or layer of material applied to the outer fabric. This membrane is designed to prevent water from penetrating the fabric, while allowing moisture and vapor (sweat) from the inside to escape, maintaining comfort for the wearer.

There are different degrees of breathability, depending on how quickly sweat can pass through the material. This jacket has a breathability of up to 3000g/m2/d, making it comfortable to wear even in wet and humid weather.

To ensure that a product is completely waterproof, you can cover all seams with a special tape that prevents water from penetrating. This tape enhances the product’s properties and is typically used for rainwear, ski clothes and other functional outerwear.

For products with special properties such as waterproofing and breathability, it’s important to treat the garment correctly to ensure longevity and performance. Washing instructions must be followed carefully.
