Component waterproofing

This garment has been subjected to a shower test using 60 litres of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.A waterproof rating of 2 000 mm means the fabric can withstand pressure exerted by 2 000 mm of water (the equivalent of a rain shower lasting for two hours).Waterproofing is expressed in schmerbers (for example 2 000 schmerbers).,

Component breathability

To assess the breathability of the fabric, the evaporative resistance, RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard), is measured. The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 920 = little or no breathability.,

Component water resistance

A fabric is water repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifetime (with every or 3 washes). All Quechua waterproof jackets have received a water repellent treatment.,
