AYAQ MEMBRANE: 52,000 SCHMERBERS, LAB-TESTED EXCELLENCE
Schmerbers measure the water pressure a fabric can withstand before leaking.
- 5,000 Schmerbers: typical rain
- 10,000: heavy, continuous rain
- 20,000: storm conditions, serious mountain use
Above 40,000 Schmerbers, even under intense downpours for hours, with weight pressure—sitting in snow or carrying a backpack—no water penetration occurs.
RET < 8, OPTIMAL BREATHABILITY
RET measures how easily sweat escapes the fabric. The more waterproof a fabric, the less breathable it is. AYAQ’s challenge was to combine high breathability with waterproofing.
- RET above 20: stifling garments
- Between 13 and 20: moderate breathability
- Below 8: excellent breathability
