Blåkläder rain pants

Why choose Blåkläder rain pants?

All Blåkläder rain trousers are completely windproof and waterproof, thanks to high-quality materials and welded seams. No more wet trouser legs.

The PU-coated polyester keeps you dry both inside and out. Its breathable properties prevent overheating during intense work.

With reinforcements on the knees and back of the trousers, these rain pants last for years, even with heavy use.

Waterproof and breathable clothing: what does it mean?

Everyone wants clothes that protect against rain and dirt while staying comfortable without making you sweat. From ultra-thin stretch materials to sturdy rainwear, everything should be waterproof and breathable.

Waterproofing

Waterproofing means a fabric can withstand a water column of at least 3000 mm during tests. This is usually measured with a 'water column' test, where machines evaluate how much pressure the fabric can handle. Common testing methods include EN ISO 811 and JIS L 1092.

Breathability

Breathability is tested by measuring how much moisture vapor the fabric allows through. Tests like L 1099 and ASTM E96/E96M use high values, while EN ISO 11092 prioritizes low resistance.

How does waterproof and breathable technology work?

To make fabric waterproof and breathable, it’s equipped with a thin membrane. There are two types:

• Microscopic holes let vapor escape but block water droplets.

• Material that absorbs moisture inside and releases it outside, ideal for cold conditions.

Coatings and treatments

A fabric can also be made waterproof with a synthetic coating and water-repellent treatment. This causes raindrops to bead up and roll off, keeping the fabric light and repelling dirt.
