What Makes A Jacket Waterproof?
Essentially there are two kinds of ‘waterproof’ jacket – water resistant and fully waterproof. Water resistant jackets are treated with a waterproof coating while fully waterproof jackets are made with a waterproof membrane and taped seams. The best waterproof jacket for you will depend on the conditions you’ll be using it in.
Waterproof Membrane
IsoDry is a waterproof membrane unique to Mountain Warehouse which allows perspiration to pass through one side but not the other, so moisture is wicked away from the body but rain will not enter. Waterproof jackets will be treated with a water-repellent coating as well as having a waterproof membrane bonded to the outer fabric.
What Is Waterproof Rating?
How waterproof a jacket is will depend on its waterproof rating. The higher a jacket’s waterproof rating, the longer the fabric will remain waterproof for.
A rating of 5000mm to 10,000mm is suitable for just about all weather conditions but equally at home in lesser ones, great for walking the dog or a serious trek in bad conditions. These higher rated jackets will also be breathable.
What Is Breathability?
The ability of a jacket to allow perspiration to escape is as important as not letting water in, especially if you will be doing anything energetic. If a waterproof jacket is not breathable, sweat will be unable to escape, making the wearer feel damp.
It’s common for people to feel as though their waterproof has ‘leaked’ when in fact it’s perspiration from inside they are feeling. In addition to a breathable membrane, other features such as pit zips and mesh lined pockets can contribute to a jackets breathability.
