We use one of the certification standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to establish our fabric’s waterproofness. Other, less reliable testing procedures could conceivably produce much higher figures, but since there is no industry-wide standard, we chose the worldwide, ISO method. This can make comparing different brand’s figures difficult.
* Except for the Altai UL outer tent, which is Kerlon 1200
Because we are committed to longevity in our products, we also test fabrics after they have been exposed to weather and mechanical wear so that, beyond their guaranteed initial waterproofness, our fabrics will perform well even after some time of use.
