Component waterproofing
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Components with a 5,000 mm rating can withstand the pressure of a 5,000 mm column of water (which is equivalent to a storm lasting 3 hours).
Waterproofing of the garment
Technologies: this garment has been validated in a shower test under 30 cm rain for 3 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a mountain storm.
Component breathability
Our rain poncho and cape ranges do not come with a waterproof/breathable membrane.
Therefore, we recommend calm, gentle use to reduce perspiration rather than fast hiking!
Component water resistance
A fabric is water repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed throughout the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes).
All Quechua ponchos and capes have a water-repellent treatment.
