HOW IS THE WATERPROOFING OF THIS PONCHO TESTED?
This poncho is made from a coated waterproof fabric and has fully taped seams. The waterproofing of the fabric is measured by its resistance to water column pressure, in mm (according to ISO 811 standard). Our material is resistant to the pressure of a 5000 mm water column. The waterproofing of the finished product is verified in the laboratory with a shower test, i.e., 60 liters of water/m²/hour for two hours, simulating average shower conditions.
Which body parts does this poncho cover?
This poncho has a unisex cut and covers you from head to thighs. You can wear your helmet over or under the hood. Thanks to its loose cut, you can wear this poncho over a jacket and a 20L backpack. Although the poncho offers good protection for the upper body, we recommend wearing rain pants with integrated shoe covers to protect your legs and feet from the rain.
HOW IS THE WATERPROOFING OF THIS PONCHO TESTED?
This poncho is waterproof thanks to the robustness and coating of its fabric and its sealed seams. A fabric's waterproofing is determined by measuring its resistance to the pressure exerted by a water column, measured in mm (test based on ISO 811 standard). Our material is resistant to the pressure from 2,000 mm of water. The finished product is approved in a shower test in the lab, where we recreate the conditions of an average downpour: 60 L water per square metre per hour for 2 hours.
COMPONENT BREATHABILITY
Hydrophilic coating (RET = 12): limits condensation inside the garment. To see whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower its resistance, the more the fabric lets water vapour produced by the body escape, and the more breathable it is.
For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric. 9 < RET < 12 = highly breathable fabric. 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric. RET > 20 = slightly or not breathable fabric.
