Product waterproofing :
Cascade pants have been validated in a shower test under 100 liters of water / m² / hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain storm.
Waterproof fabric :
The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is measured in mm water column (test based on ISO 811). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 2,000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 2,000 mm of water (roughly equivalent to a 2-hour shower).
With a waterproof rating of over 10,000 mm, these pants offer a very high level of waterproofing.
Fabric breathability :
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (test basé sur la norme ISO 11092). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s’échapper la vapeur d'eau générée par le corps en activité, donc plus le tissu est respirant.
On considère que pour une :
- RET < 9 = le tissu est très respirant
- 9- RET > 12 = le tissu est peu ou pas respirant.
Le pantalon Cascade a une RET = 6
