Rain pants with elastic and drawstring

Rain trousers from Zizzi.

Loose-fitting rain trousers in a breathable quality made from 100% recycled polyester with taped seams, which ensure that water does not penetrate. The trousers have an elasticated waist with an adjustable drawstring. 

• The rain trousers can withstand a water column pressure of 8,000 mm.
• The rain trousers have a breathability of 3,000.

The water column pressure stated for the trousers refers to a measurement of the fabric's water-repellent properties. It indicates the amount of water in millimetres that can be pressed against the fabric before water begins to penetrate and soak through it.

When it comes to waterproof materials, a waterproof membrane or coating is often used. It can be a thin film or a layer of material applied to the outer fabric. This membrane is designed to prevent water from penetrating the fabric while allowing moisture and vapour (sweat) from the inside to escape, maintaining comfort for the wearer.

There are different degrees of breathability, which depend on how quickly sweat can pass through the material. These trousers have a breathability of up to 3000g/m2/d, which makes them comfortable to wear, even in wet and humid weather.
