What EN 343 class 4:2 means
How to read the label on a waterproof.
Steps
- EN 343 is the European standard for clothing that protects against rain.
- The first number is water penetration, from class 1 to class 4. Stormgear is class 4, the top class.
- The second number is breathability, also from class 1 to class 4. Stormgear is class 2.
- The fabric is tested to 6,000 mm of water, 4 times the minimum the standard asks for.
Keeping water out at the boots
The details that stop rain running in.
Steps
- The trousers, bib and brace and leggings all have studs at the ankle, to close snugly over boots or wellingtons.
- The leggings have two height settings for short to tall legs.
- Wear the jacket over the bib and brace, so rain runs off rather than in.
