Materials and How They Work

Waterproof trousers rely on advanced materials to block moisture from the outside while allowing heat and sweat to escape.

• Polyester: Durable, quick drying, and easy to care for.
• Polyamide / Nylon: Lightweight, flexible, and resistant to abrasion.
• PU (Polyurethane) coating: Creates a waterproof barrier that prevents leaks.
• PVC: Fully waterproof and strong, ideal for tough outdoor conditions.
• TPU / Tres-Tex membrane: Breathable and waterproof for lasting comfort.
• Elastane / Spandex: Adds stretch for flexibility and improved fit.
• Mesh lining: Increases airflow and prevents the fabric from sticking to the skin.

Together, these materials deliver dependable weather protection, durability, and comfort for all-day wear.

Why Comfort and Performance Matter

Performance ratings determine how well waterproof trousers handle real weather. Use these specifications to match protection and breathability to your activity.

• 5,000 mm: Suited to light rain and short, occasional use.
• 10,000 mm: Reliable for everyday wear in moderate rain.
• 15,000 mm: Built for long hikes and persistent moisture.
• 20,000 mm+: Designed for heavy rain, mountain conditions, and demanding exposure.
• Breathability (MVP) 5,000–15,000 g/m²/24h: From casual walks to fast trekking, this range lets heat and moisture escape to keep you dry inside.

These ratings help you choose overtrousers that stay comfortable and effective, so you remain dry from both rain and perspiration.
