Fabric waterproofing

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 2,000 mm rating can resist 2,000 mm of water pressure (which is roughly equivalent to a rain shower lasting 2 hours). With a waterproofing rate over 30,000 mm, the Mountaineering hardshell pants offer an extremely high level of waterproofing.

Product's waterproofing

The top-layer 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.

Fabric breathability

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 = slightly or not breathable fabric.
The pants have a RET between 9

Product's breathability

On top the main fabric's breathability, these pants have been designed with 2 side zippers, enabling air flow that helps to regulate temperature, further enhancing ventilation

full-length, two-way zipper

This next-gen 2-way zipper offers the same waterproofing as a classic silicone zipper (similar to pocket zippers) while being more flexible, which improves the top-layer pants' compression when packed away. Plus, this zipper is easier to handle, which helps to make it last longer. The 2-way zipper and full-length opening allow you to put on or take of pants, crampons or skis, which is an added bonus during a storm.
