The Schoffel Women’s Floret Jacket is constructed to provide excellent technical performance on and off
piste. Made from Shoffel’s Venturi Stretch fabric, the Floret jacket is completely waterproof and highly
breathable with the durability to withstand falls, scrapes and chairlifts! There is a detachable storm hood
should conditions worsen, and underarm ventilation if you need to cool down after a dynamic descent of the
hill. PrimaLoft® insulation provides unbeatable warmth and continues to perform, even when wet. The stretch
integrated into the outer fabric provides incredible freedom of movement, and features such as waterproof
zips and internal hand mitts are incorporated for extra protection and security, giving you the confidence
to explore the mountain and push your limits.
| Venturi Stretch 2L | Schoffel's own performance
fabric with 4-way stretch properties for excellent freedom of movement is also windproof, waterproof,
breathable and soft. |
| 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. |
| Breathability Rating | Measurement based on the
Hohenstien test. Fabric is placed above a porous (sintered) metal plate. The plate is heated and water is
channelled into the metal plate, simulating perspiration. The plate is then kept at a constant temperature.
As water vapour passes thru the plate and the fabric, it causes Evaporative Heat Loss and therefore more
energy is needed to keep the plate at a constant temperature. |
| RET | RET is 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 6-13: Good or Very
Breathable - Comfortable at moderate 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.

| PrimaLoft® insulation | Soft, durable and
compressible high loft insulation with excellent thermal efficiency and breathability. Uses the finest
microfibres to provide the touch and warmth of down yet is outstandingly water repellent and dries more
quickly than down. |
| RECCO® Avalanche Rescue Reflector | Using
sophisticated radar technology, the Recco reflector forms the passive element of a 2-part avalanche search
system. Ski resorts and mountain rescue teams carry Recco detectors, which send out a search signal, and the
Recco® reflector bounces back a directional signal that directs the rescuer straight to the reflector. More
than 600 resorts and rescue services around the world use the Recco Rescue System as part of their immediate
response. |
