Loose-fitting rain trousers in breathable quality with taped seams to ensure that no water gets in. The trousers have an elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring.

• The rain pants can withstand a water column pressure of 8,000 mm.

The water column pressure stated for the jacket, refers to a measurement of the water repellency of the fabric. It indicates the amount of water in millimeters that can be pressed against the fabric before water begins to permeate and soak through it.

When it comes to waterproof materials, a waterproof membrane or coating is often used. It can be a thin film or layer of material applied to the outer fabric. This membrane is designed to prevent water from entering the fabric, while allowing moisture and vapor (sweat) from the inside to escape, maintaining comfort for the wearer.

There are different degrees of breatheability, depending on how quickly sweat can pass through the material. This jacket has a breathability of up to 3000g/m2/d, making it comfortable to wear even in wet and humid weather.
