We measure a fabric's resistance to a water column, in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure resistance, the more waterproof the fabric. Components with a 2.000 mm waterproof rating can resist 2,000 mm of water pressure (which is roughly equivalent to a rain shower lasting 2 hours). With a waterproof rating over 10,000 mm, these pants offer an extremely high level of waterproofing.

Fabric waterproofing

The Cascade pants have been approved in a shower test under 100 litres of water/m²/hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain downpour. 

Product's waterproofing

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporate resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more moisture generated by an active body is evaporated and therefore the higher the fabric's breathability. 
We consider that if 
- RET < 9 = highly breathable fabric 
- 9<RET<12 = breathable fabric 
- RET > 12 = slightly or not breathable fabric.
Cascade pants have a RET = 6

Fabric breathability

On top of the main fabric's breathability, these pants have been designed with 2 side zippers allowing air to circulate to regulate temperature, further enhancing ventilation
