• This jacket has a water column pressure of 8000 mm.

The water column pressure indicated for the jacket refers to a measurement of the fabric's water-repellent properties. It indicates the amount of water in millimetres that can be pressed against the fabric before water starts to penetrate and soak through it.

Waterproof materials often use a waterproof membrane or coating. It can be a thin film or a layer of material applied to the outer fabric. This membrane is designed to prevent water from penetrating the fabric while allowing moisture and vapour (perspiration) from the inside to escape, maintaining comfort for the wearer.

There are different degrees of breathability, which depend on how quickly perspiration can pass through the material. This jacket has a breathability of over 3000g/m2/d, making it ideal for outdoor physical activity such as skiing.

To ensure that a product is completely waterproof, all seams can be covered with a special tape that prevents water from penetrating. This tape enhances the product's properties and is typically used for rainwear, skiwear and other functional outerwear.

For products with special properties such as water resistance and breathability, it is important to care for the garment properly to ensure a long lifespan and performance. The washing instructions should be followed carefully.
