Rather roomy, it will keep you comfortable and can be used with pants underneath (as overtrousers)
Adjustable straps and elastic waistband make it easy to adapt to all body sizes.
WATERPROOFNESS WATER COLUMN TEST So-called "Schmerber" test
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on JIS 1092B standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
With a waterproof rating of 15,000mm, our 500 pants offer a very good level of waterproofing.
A component with a waterproof rating of 15,000mm resists an applied pressure of 1.5 Bar.
WATERPROOFING SHOWER TEST
In our view, this test is the most representative, since a product made from a highly waterproof fabric can get water through its seams, flaps or zips...
In this test, the products are placed under a shower to test their overall waterproofness.
Our 500 pants protect you from a major storm (i.e. 30 cm of rain in 3 hours).
BREATHABILITY TEST R.E.T.
Breathability is measured by the coefficient of Thermal Evaporative Resistance (T.E.R.). It measures a fabric's resistance to moisture evaporation. The lower this resistance (and therefore the coefficient), the more breathable the fabric! (test based on ISO 11092 standard).
Our 500 pants with an index of 9 are therefore breathable and perfectly suited to effort.
