The Haglofs Men’s Tilta Jacket is a lightweight 3-layer shell that combines incredible weather protection with outstanding breathability. An innovative construction and micro taped seams help to reduce unnecessary weight making the jacket highly compressible for easy packing. Clever features such as combining chest pockets with cooling vents also help to reduce bulk for easy layering and a streamlined fit.
| 3L GORE-TEX® Active: | Designed to meet the demands of all weather, fast forward athletes seeking durable protection and comfort during highly aerobic, done-in-a-day activities. GORE-TEX Active has a waterproof, lightweight, streamlined construction that delivers extreme breathability and excellent next-to-skin comfort. Its 3-layer construction features a thin waterproof and breathable membrane sandwiched between a fine denier performance face fabric and a backer textile integrated directly into the membrane using proprietary lamination technology. |
| DWR (Durable Water Repellent): | A DWR-treated fabric will bead-up water on its surface to stop it from soaking into the fibres. This maintains breathability and shortens drying times. |
| Waterproof Rating: | This is measured and expressed as Hydrostatic Head in millimetres (mm). To find out the Hydrostatic Head of a fabric the manufacturer will take a clear tube and clamp their material over the bottom end. They will then fill the tube slowly with water and watch to see how high the column of water can get before the material lets drips through. The higher the hydrostatic head, the better the water protection. The European Standard a fabric must meet to be classified as waterproof is a Hydrostatic Head rating of 1500mm, and on average, outerwear fabrics tend to have a hydrostatic head of 10000mm and above.

| RET: | The measurement of the resistance to evaporative heat loss. The lower the RET value, the less resistance to moisture transfer and therefore higher breathability. Hohenstein added a unique aspect to their testing. They had real people wear garments made with the fabrics of varying RET values and work out on a treadmill. They gathered comments of the testers and correlated this to the RET values of the fabrics and came up with a Comfort Rating System.
RET 0-6: Very Good or Extremely Breathable - Comfortable at higher activity rate
RET 13-20: Satisfactory or Breathable - Uncomfortable at high activity rate
RET 20-30: Unsatisfactory or Slightly Breathable - Moderate comfort at low activity rate
RET 30+: Unsatisfactory or Not Breathable - Uncomfortable and short tolerance time.
RET 6-13: Good or Very Breathable - Comfortable at moderate activity rate
