Waterproof jackets have a laminated or coated outer layer and taped seams. This combination prevents water from entering even in heavy rainfall. Water resistance up to: 10,000 mm This means the material only allows water through under a pressure equivalent to 10,000 mm of water, or 10 metres. The higher this number, the better the jacket withstands rain exposure. Also check breathability for extra comfort.

Windproof jackets are designed to keep cold air out completely. Thanks to a special layer in the material, warm air remains close to the body. This prevents the wind chill effect, where the perceived temperature feels much lower than the actual temperature. Ideal for open plains, long walks, or a crisp autumn day.

Breathable materials wick away body heat and sweat. Especially during physical activity, this prevents overheating or a clammy feeling. The higher the breathability, the better the jacket performs during intense activities. Breathability (MVP): up to 10,000 Breathability is measured as MVP: Moisture Vapour Permeability. This value indicates how many grams of water vapour per square metre of fabric can escape in 24 hours. The higher the MVP, the better the jacket’s breathability.
