Gill Breathability: Performance Driven Design

Our reliable, high-performance fabric testing within our in-house lab means we can ensure optimum performance for all of our products.

Part four of our five part series, we demonstrate how we

perform breathability testing.

Breathability

Allowing a product to let perspiration escape is just as important as not allowing water in, particularly during active use. Of the three test methods available to show how many grams of water vapour are able to pass through a fabric, we use two, depending on the fabric type.

#TestedBeyondStandards

If you’ve ever felt that a waterproof jacket has ‘leaked’ then it could be perspiration from inside that you’re feeling, that’s why we also use a breathable membrane as well as a mesh lining.

Whatever your water-based activity, Gill has you covered.
