Waterproofing
The fabric is constructed with a 3-layer membrane, resistant to a water pressure of 30,000 mm Schmerber (test based on JIS standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
The product has been tested under a storm rain simulator, reproducing rainfall of 450 L/M²/h for 24 hours (3x8 hours).

Breathability
To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance, known as RET (test based on ISO 11092 standard). This is the fabric's capacity to let the water vapor produced by the body during exercise escape to the outside.
To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its RET evaporative resistance (ISO 11092 standard). The lower the resistance, the more water vapor escapes from the fabric, making it more breathable.
The RET of this product is 25.

What is water repellency and how do you maintain it?
Fabrics and fastenings are water-repellent.
The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it.
This means your jacket won't become waterlogged, remaining light and breathable. Water repellency is obtained by a treatment (DWR) applied to the outer face of the fabric, but these properties can be altered with use.
Water repellency can be reactivated by placing the jacket (previously air-dried) in the tumble-dryer for 10 minutes at low temperature.
How to care for your overalls
After use, rinse the jacket thoroughly with clean water, not forgetting the zippers to remove the salt.
Dry on a hanger in a well-ventilated area.
We recommend drying your jacket completely in the open air, flat on a drying rack. Never dry your jacket directly on a radiator.
How to reactivate water repellency: step 1, before washing.
Close all zips and flaps. Also remember to loosen straps and elastics and empty pockets.
Then turn garment inside out to wash inside out.
How to reactivate water repellency: step 2, washing.
You can wash your dungarees in a synthetic program at 30° or 40°C with your usual detergent. Do not use fabric softener, which could damage the garment's original performance, and of course do not use bleach.
Make sure you don't fold your overalls too much when you put them in the washing machine, and limit the load.
Very important: select a thorough rinse or double rinse to remove detergent residues.
How to reactivate water repellency: step 3, drying.
Drying is essential to reactivate the water-repellent treatment.
We recommend that you leave your overalls to dry completely in the open air, flat on a drying rack. Never dry your overalls directly on a radiator.
Then tumble-dry them on the synthetic program for a short time (10 to 15 minutes) before putting them back on. Be careful not to over-dry the garment.
