How do we test it?
Waterproofness is measured using a hydrostatic head test — the higher the number, the better the protection. For real-world use, look for gear rated at least 10,000 mm or more.
Breathability is tested by how much water vapor escapes through the fabric in 24 hours. For proper performance, aim for at least 10,000 g/m²/24h.
