Important Information Regarding the Waterproofing of Products

We are committed to providing you with high-quality products that meet your expectations for durability and performance. We would like to draw your attention to an important aspect of our products' performance: Waterproofing.

Waterproofing (the ability of a material to prevent the passage of fluids) depends very little on external conditions, unlike breathability. The membrane from our supplier Sympatex guarantees consistent waterproofing up to 20,000 Schmerber (which means 20,000 mm of water column), which is more than sufficient for the vast majority of human activities.

The durability of this waterproofing, however, can be influenced by several factors, including:

Environmental Conditions:

Temperature: Extreme temperatures can affect the flexibility and integrity of the material.
Humidity: High humidity levels can impact the sealing properties of the material and promote the growth of bacteria.
Exposure to Elements: Poor storage conditions, continuous exposure to water, UV rays, and chemicals can degrade the material over time.

Conditions of Use:

Pressure: High pressure can force fluids through the material.
Wear: Frequent use or mechanical stress can cause micro-tears, premature wear, or damage.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance is recommended to ensure that the material remains in optimal condition.

Handling:

Handling: Rough handling or improper use can compromise the integrity of the material.

To ensure maximum performance and longevity of your products, please follow the recommended usage guidelines and maintenance practices.
