Mens Designer Lightweight Waterproof Jacket Sale
Mens Designer Lightweight Waterproof Jacket Sale
This page details the technical specifications, material composition, and performance characteristics of the current sale offering for men's designer lightweight waterproof jackets. Information is provided to support informed procurement decisions based on measurable engineering properties rather than subjective claims.
Material Composition and Construction
The jacket shell utilizes a 2.5-layer laminate system consisting of a 15D nylon face fabric bonded to a microporous polyurethane membrane with a hydrophilic backing. The face fabric achieves a tear strength of 8.2 N (ASTM D2261) and a burst strength of 210 kPa (ASTM D3786). The membrane provides a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000 mm (JIS L 1092 Method B) and a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of 8,000 g/m²/24h (ASTM E96 BWB). Seams are fully taped with 15mm wide polyurethane tape applied via heat bonding at 135°C, achieving a seam leakage rate of <0.1 mL/min under 10 kPa pressure (AATCC Test Method 127).
Design Features and Functional Details
The jacket features an adjustable storm hood with laminated brim and rear volume adjusters, compatible with helmet use. The front closure incorporates a YKK Vislon zipper with storm flap and magnetic snap closure at the neck. Cuffs are constructed with laminated internal gaiters and adjustable hook-and-loop closures. The hem includes a hidden adjustable drawcord with barrel locks. Pocket configuration includes two hand pockets with water-resistant zippers and internal storm flaps, one chest pocket with reverse coil zipper, and an internal drop-in pocket. All zippers are treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
Performance Characteristics
Under simulated rainfall conditions (50 mm/hr for 4 hours), the jacket maintains interior humidity below 65% RH when tested with a sweating guarded hotplate (ISO 11092). The thermal resistance (RCT) of the jacket system is 0.125 m²·K/W (equivalent to 0.8 clo) when worn with a standard base layer. The packed volume is 0.8 L (20 x 12 x 3.5 cm) and the weight is 185 g (size M). Abrasion resistance of the face fabric exceeds 25,000 cycles (Martindale ASTM D4966) before noticeable wear.
Size Range and Fit Specification
Available in sizes XS through 3XL. Chest measurements (flat, underarm to underarm) range from 48 cm (XS) to 66 cm (3XL) with a tolerance of ±0.5 cm. Sleeve length from center back neck to cuff is 82 cm (XS) to 90 cm (3XL). The garment is cut with a regular fit, allowing for layering underneath while maintaining a streamlined profile. Back length from high point shoulder to hem is 74 cm (XS) to 82 cm (3XL).
Care Instructions and Longevity Factors
Machine wash cold (30°C) on gentle cycle, tumble dry low, do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean. The DWR finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes after washing. After 20 wash cycles, the hydrostatic head remains above 8,000 mm and MVTR above 6,000 g/m²/24h. The jacket is designed for a minimum service life of 5 years under normal outdoor use conditions.

The current sale offering represents a standardized production run with fixed specifications as detailed above. Customization options such as alternative colorways, adjusted trim details, or modified pocket configurations are not available for this specific sale inventory. All units undergo final inspection including hydrostatic head verification, seam integrity check, and dimensional verification against the size chart.
