Good to know
Explained briefly
If you want to dig deeper
Knowledge
What do you want to do in the mountains?
Hiking, ski touring and skiing place different demands on fit and features. Choose according to the described use. A high water column does not automatically make a hiking jacket a ski shell.
Try the jacket on with your planned layers. Check freedom of movement, hem, sleeves and the hood with your helmet or headwear. Children need their own sizes and suitable model details.
What does water column mean?
ISO 811 describes a hydrostatic test method for textiles. Water column is a material measurement under specific test conditions. On its own, it says nothing about the seams, zips or fit of a complete jacket.
Only compare values measured using the same method and test conditions. Unknown conditions remain unknown. More millimetres do not guarantee how long you will stay dry outdoors.
EN 343 and the change of standard
According to DIN Media, DIN EN ISO 24232:2026-05 replaces DIN EN 343:2019-06 for protective clothing against rain. ISO 811:2018 remains current as a hydrostatic test method.
An old EN 343 reference on a model does not become a new certification as a result. A water column alone cannot establish a class under the protective clothing standard. The documented information for the specific jacket remains decisive.
Read RET and MVTR separately
RET describes resistance to water vapour transmission, while MVTR describes water vapour transmission under specified conditions. They are different measurements. Do not convert one into the other.
MVTR figures from different methods are not a shared ranking either. ISO 11092:2026 replaced the 2014 edition; an older documented model figure retains its original test reference. Without the method, a numerical comparison is not reliable.
What do the layers mean?
Layers describe the material construction. A three-layer construction combines the outer fabric, membrane and inner protective layer. The number of layers alone is not a complete ranking of waterproofness or comfort.
Check seams and fastenings separately. A water-repellent surface treatment does not prove that the whole jacket is waterproof. A material name alone does not tell you how it is constructed.
Ventilation and care
Additional vents can help release warm, moist air. A general breathability claim does not prove the presence of underarm zips. Physical exertion and weather also affect how it feels to wear.
Follow the care instructions for the specific jacket. Dirt, moisture on the outer fabric and wear affect use. A care recommendation is not a guarantee of lasting waterproofness.
How can you recognise a reliable recommendation?
The model generation, manufacturer information and test reference must match. Missing required information remains visible and prevents a Best Choice. The price preview shows the current range for the suitable selection.
Only compare differences that are actually documented. An unknown water column is not estimated, and a high fabric value does not replace evidence for the whole jacket.
Frequently asked questions
Why are technical values missing for some models?
We only include clearly verified details for the specific model. If the source is unclear or sources contradict each other, the detail remains open. This prevents a model being marked as Best choice when the value is required for your answers.
