Product waterproofing:
The Cascade trousers were approved in a shower test under 100 litres of water / sqm / hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain downpour.
Fabric waterproofing:
We measure a fabric's resistance to a water column, in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure resistance, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a 2000 mm waterproof rating can withstand 2000 mm of water pressure (which is roughly equivalent to a rain shower lasting 2 hours).
With waterproofing greater than 10,000 mm, these trousers offer a very high level of waterproofing.
Fabric breathability:
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporate resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more moisture, generated by an active body, is evaporated, and therefore the higher the fabric's breathability.
We consider that if:
- RET < 9 = highly breathable fabric
- 9
- RET > 12 = slightly or not breathable fabric.
Cascade trousers have an RET of 6
