How waterproof is it?
Face the rain with confidence in our hiking jacket. Its 15,000 mm H₂O (Schmerber) waterproof fabric keeps you dry in medium to heavy rain—performance backed by the JIS standard.
What are schmerbers?
The Schmerber rating measures how waterproof a fabric is—the higher the number, the better the protection. This jacket is rated 15,000 mm H₂O, meaning it can withstand the pressure of a 49 ft column of water.
What is a membrane fabric?
The membrane acts like a shield against rain—bonded to the outer fabric, it blocks water while letting moisture escape. The result: you stay dry, inside and out. This 2-layer jacket features the membrane bonded only to the outer layer.
To meet your requirements, Quechua products are tested in the mountains in conditions you will encounter during your hikes. Our teams, as well as a tester panel (made up of partners, ambassadors and customers), test products throughout their development until they go to market.
