Water column

The water repellency of clothing is often described in the form of millimeters of water column. The water column says something about the amount of water pressure that a substance can have per square centimeter before it starts to leak. This jacket has a water column of 10,000 mm. This means that the fabric leaks through when it is under pressure from 10 meters of water.

MVTR

The breathability of clothing is indicated by the Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in g/m²/24 h. The following applies: the higher the MVTR value, the better the breathability. This jacket has a breathability of 35,000 g/m². This means that a square meter of this fabric 35,000 grams in 24 hours.

Material

ProFlex

Proflex™ is a waterproof membrane that provides excellent comfort at high intensity and in stormy weather. The Proflex™ PU membrane has been developed to provide stretch and exceptional breathability and has a natural elasticity. It works in harmony with recycled knitted or woven fabrics to maintain this stretchability and achieve a lightweight, soft and flexible 3-layer waterproof material. The inner fabric of Proflex™ has excellent moisture-wicking properties. They work with the hydrophilic membrane to speed up the process of moving moisture from the body out through the system. A DWR treatment on the outer fabric ensures that the membrane continues to function optimally.
