BR2 Technology

Musto tests how waterproof its fabric is by using a hydrostatic waterhead. This is measured by pulling BR2 fabric tightly over a tube. The tube is then filled with water and the amount of water that leaks through the fabric after a 24 hour period is then measured. The height of the water column, in millimeters, is the hydrostatic waterhead measurement.

Even after the fabric has been washed five times, BR2 has a minimum hydrostatic waterhead of 5,000mm up to 10,000mm. This is a significantly higher waterproof rating than the industry minimum of 1,500mm.

BR2 fabrics allow 10,000g of moisture to pass through it, giving it a breathability rating of 10,000g/24hrs.
