Main Material

We measure a fabric’s resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure a fabric can withstand, the more waterproof it is.
Waterproofing ratings:
Component resistant to 5,000 mm water pressure before and after ageing (5 washes). This is equal to 5,000 Schmerber (the average pressure exerted during rainfall).
The trousers' waterproofing has been tested in a rain shower with 60 litres of water/m²/hour for 2 hrs

Waterproof properties

Rinse with clean water after use.
Store in a dry place.
Wash as infrequently as possible to protect the water-repellent treatment.
Wash inside out, pocket zipped, on the synthetics cycle (30°C–40°C) with regular detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner. Do not overload your machine. Run extra rinse.
Line dry.
To restore its water repellency, tumble dry inside out on the synthetics cycle for 10–15 min.

Care instructions

We measure the fabric resistance to water pressure in mm of water column (based on the JIS standard). The higher the water pressure a fabric can withstand, the more waterproof it is.
A component with that is waterproof to 5000 mm therefore resists the pressure of 5000 mm of water.

Waterproof rating

Breathability
To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its resistance to evaporative heat transfer (RET). The lower the resistance, the better a fabric’s ability to let the body’s perspiration escape.
- RET < 9 = extremely breathable
- RET 9–12 = very breathable
- RET 12–20 = breathable
- RET > 20 = not very or not at all breathable
