Apprêt Déperlant Durable (DWR)
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish repels light rain and snow and reduces the fabric's drying time.

Norme H2NO
The H2NO performance standard is Patagonia's benchmark for waterproofness, breathability, and durability.
All H2No? products undergo rigorous waterproof testing during a 24-hour "Killer Wash" cycle that simulates years of wear. This process involves subjecting the fabric to extreme conditions for 24 consecutive hours in a modified washing machine.
The H2No? performance standard for waterproof garments is 20,000 mm* before washing and 10,000 mm* after our extreme washing (according to the JIS L 1092 B test).

Fair Trade Certified
In order to improve the living standards of the employees who make our products, Fair Trade is the first step towards fairer wages for the people within our supply chain.
We pay a premium for every Patagonia product that carries the Fair Trade Certified? label. This additional money is distributed directly to the factory workers. This program also promotes the health and safety of workers, as well as adherence to social and environmental standards. It also encourages dialogue between employees and management.
