Measuring fabric waterproofing

This item has undergone a shower test of 60 litres/m²/hour for 2 hours.

This measures the resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of a water column (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The greater the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 2000 mm can resist the pressure exerted by 2000 mm of water, which is the equivalent of a rainstorm lasting 2 hours.

Measuring fabric breathability

To test if a fabric is breathable, its evaporative resistance or RET is measured (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the resistance, the greater the capability of the fabric to allow water vapour generated by the body to escape, and the higher its breathability. For example: RET < 9 = fabric is extremely breathable.
