About membrane fabrics:
Waterproofness (W/P) in a fabric means it capability to endure a certain amount of water pressure. Testing is carried out with a water pillar which height is announced in millimeters. The German standard claims a fabric to be waterproof when its water pillar is over 1300mm.In practice 1300mm isn’t sufficient due to movement, wrinkles and sitting which raise the water pressure in the fabric surface.
E.S.T.’s products normally come with W/P 10 000 mm thanks to advanced sports materials.
The fabric's breathability is tested by water vapor permeability: grams of water per 1m2 per 24 hours
The greater the value, the better breathability
E.S.T. aims at min. 10 000 g/m2/24h in all waterproof products
