*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 for activities like mountaineering and skiing.
