What do Waterproof Ratings Mean?
We sell performance and Time in the Rain™. Most Brellas have a 20,000mm waterproof rating and Gore-tex has a 28,000mm rating so we are close in performance but at a more affordable price.
Ratings:
The higher the mm number, the longer the rain jacket can withstand rain intensity + pressure:
