Waterproofing We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in mm of the water jet (tests based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure withstood, the more waterproof the fabric. Components scoring 2000mm can resist the pressure from 2000mm of water (which is equivalent to a rain shower lasting one hour).

Garment waterproofing NOVADRY® technology: this garment has been subjected to a shower test using 100 litres of water/m²/hour for 4 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a violent storm in the mountains. Please visit Novadry.com for more information.

Component breathability To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by an active body is evaporated, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 920 = little or no breathability.

Breathability In addition to breathable fabrics, Quechua develops technical solutions (zips, ventilation, mesh...) to improve the overall ventilation of its jackets and overtrousers designed for trekking use (Forclaz, Bionnasay and Helium lines).

Water repellency Water repellency is a fabric's ability to let water slide over its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from swelling, and keeps it lightweight, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved through a treatment applied to the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifetime (recommended at every wash).Water-repellent treatment products are available in our stores. All Quechua waterproof jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.
