water column

The water-repellent capacity of clothing is often described in the form of millimeters of water column. The water column says something about the amount of water pressure a substance can have per square centimeter before it starts to leak. This jacket has a water column of 10,000 mm. This means that the substance leaks through when it is under pressure from 10 meters of water.

MVTR

The breathability of clothing is expressed in g/m²/24 h with the Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR). The following applies: the higher the MVTR value, the better the breathability. This jacket has a breathability of 35,000 g/m². This means that one square meter of this fabric is 35,000 grams in 24 hours.

Material

Recycled Polyester

Polyester is a synthetic material made from petroleum. It is a durable, smooth fabric that feels soft. In addition, it is lightweight, does not need to be ironed and dries quickly. Polyester is also, like many other materials, harmful to the environment. It is not biodegradable and contributes to the plastic soup in the ocean. However, polyester can be recycled very well. The use of recycled polyester reduces both waste and the dependence on petroleum as a source. Recycled polyester is therefore a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.
