TAPED & SEALED SEAMSJackets can be treated with a waterproof coating and have a waterproof membrane, but still not be fully waterproof. To make a jacket 100% waterproof, you need to add tape to the seams on the inside of the jacket. The tape is heat glued on top of the seams, which will stop water from seeping through the stitches. The process of adding taped seams is especially important if you wear your jacket in heavy, prolonged rain.     

WINDPROOF & BREATHABLEOur jackets offer protection from wind in the most severe conditions, while still being permeable from the inside to allow for breathability. The fabrics we use are either windproof themselves or equipped with a membrane and taped seams. WHY IS BREATHABILITY IMPORTANT?The ability of a jacket to allow perspiration to escape is as important as not letting water in, especially if you will be doing anything energetic. If a waterproof jacket is not breathable, sweat will be unable to escape, making the user feel damp. It is common for people to feel as though their waterproof has ‘leaked’ when in fact it is perspiration from the inside they are feeling.    

Waterproofing has come a long way since Scandinavians used leather to stay dry – we have a long history of figuring out the best way to surviving bad weather. With ever changing weather conditions – we truly demand excellence in protecting ourselves against rain, wind and snow. All fall and winter jackets from Scandinavian Edition are 100% waterproof and this is how it is done: WHAT MAKES A JACKET WATERPROOF?Essentially there are two kinds of ‘waterproof’ jackets – water resistant, sometimes referred to as showerproof, and fully waterproof. There are several ways to make a jacket resistant to water, for example by adding a waterproof coating. However, to make a fully waterproof jacket, which remains waterproof over time you also need a waterproof...
