   Been living in France for 10y. I took a basic one semester French course paid by the company. It was difficult to then continue because of low availability / timing / difficult commute / price so I turned to Duolingo. The bes

   The term to google is "durable water repellent" (DWR). In sport shops you can buy sprays or washing liquids to treat the jackets. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_water_repellent Also note each jacket

    In France at least, in sports outdoors shops, pretty much all high-end jackets and mountain shoes have gore-tex. Some Salomon ones might have their own custom ~equivalent tech though, probably easier and cheaper to make new products as they

    I live in continental Europe, where kids being out is total chill pretty much everywhere. I remember being 10-12 y.o. going alone to school (15 min walk) every day, and hanging out with folks playing soccer until dark in the summer (~10PM).
