The resistance of a fabric to water seepage. This is measured using an approved water pressure test. Bearing in mind that the average pressure of rain water varies between 1000 mm and 2000 mm, a fabric is considered to be waterproof from 2000 mm. Our products resist pressure from 2000 to 10 000 mm. They are therefore very waterproof and suited to even the most extreme weather conditions.

Its seams are sealed (or taped) using heat-sealed, waterproof strips. They are placed behind the seams and are essential for waterproofing clothing so that water cannot enter through capillary action (water being absorbed by the threads and/or holes of the fabric).

The fleece component is designed to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture; this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. The brushed knit fabric is what traps the air.

Coating applied to the inner fabric makes it waterproof and windproof. A waterproof fabric has the technical characteristics needed to be certified windproof. It is very important to protect yourself from the wind, when active and when resting, as it drastically cools down the body.
