*How Waterproof Ratings Are Tested
The most common method for testing waterproof ratings is the hydrostatic head test. In this test, a column of water is applied to the fabric, and the height at which water starts to penetrate the fabric is measured in millimeters. For example, a rating of 10,000 mm means the fabric can withstand a 10-meter column of water before leaking.
Common Waterproof Ratings and Their Implications
- 0 - 5,000 mm (Water-Resistant): Suitable for light rain or drizzle. These fabrics offer basic protection and are often used in everyday jackets and casual wear.
- 5,000 - 10,000 mm (Waterproof): Provides adequate protection for moderate rain and snow. Suitable for general outdoor activities like hiking and camping.
- 10,000 - 20,000 mm (Highly Waterproof): Ideal for heavy rain and wet snow. These fabrics are commonly used in high-performance outdoor gear.
These jeans are heavyweight, definitely wind proof, not tested in the rain yet.
They are an exact fit, no flappy legs when riding, with lightweight ghost armour that doesn’t look obvious off the bike.
The waist zip was a perfect match to my riding jacket, and several of the pockets have waterproof zips.
A well thought out pair of jeans, good cut, comfortable and warm.
Excellent!
Arrived quickly as always with fat skeleton. They feel like quality straight out of the bag. Nice colouring with nice branding which isn’t over the top. Zips up rear pockets and watch pocket and all of the zips are waterproofed which is a nice touch. I ordered a 36 and it is true to size but is a pretty exact fit so it might be worth sizing up if you’re borderline. Obviously with the layers they’re quite a bit thicker than regular jeans but with the ghost armour they don’t look out of place at all off the bike. Wearing them through a heatwave wasn’t any worse than my usual bike jeans. I’ve only managed to catch one light shower so far but they did manage to keep everything out . The zip on the back fitted fine with the zip on my favourite Oxford bike jacket so none of the usual compatibility problems there. Overall I’m very pleased with them.
