Features of a good rain jacket
The specifications for a rain jacket vary as widely as its intended application. Ambitious athletes want a breathable, waterproof rain jacket that provides constant ventilation to the body. The jacket should also transfer moisture away from the body, and it must also dry rapidly. Enthusiasts of mountain activities value a modest packing size that fits in any backpack. Equally, crucial is that your raincoat allows for sufficient mobility.
Fortunately, every single one of the raincoats that VAUDE offers is waterproof to at least 10,000 mm, thanks to the Ceplex membranes they use. A water column is usually used when measuring a fabric's ability to repel water. A rate of 1,300 mm or higher indicates that a material is waterproof according to the DIN standard. Basically, water's ability to permeate a substance drop by drop is measured in terms of the water column.
