The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is measured in mm water column. The higher the pressure, the more impermeable the fabric. The material has a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm water column, which corresponds to an average water pressure during a rain shower. The waterproofness of the trousers has been successfully tested for 2 hours at a precipitation rate of 60 l/m²/hour.

• RET < 9 = extremely breathable
• RET 9–12 = very breathable
• RET 12–20 = breathable
• RET > 20 = hardly or not breathable.
