Waterproof properties of the component
With waterproofing of 5000mm, the Renfort 500 parka offers an extremely high level of waterproofing. We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed as a column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the tissue is. Fabric waterproof to 5000mm therefore withstanding the pressure exerted by 5000mm of water, corresponding roughly to a thunderstorm.
Garment Waterproof Properties
The Renfort 500 jacket passed a shower test of 100 litres of water/m²/hour for 3 hours. This test simulates the conditions of a light shower/storm/thunderstorm.
Water repellent properties
A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in. As a result, the fabric does not soak up water and remains light, breathable and warm. Fabric is rendered water-repellent by applying a treatment to the outer surface. This treatment should be repeated during the life of the garment (we recommend after each wash). Products designed for this purpose are available in our stores. Solognac waterproof jackets are water-repellent.
