Sometimes we buy clothing such as jumpers or jackets that are guaranteed to be waterproof, but we are disappointed after wearing them and seeing that in a rainy situation we end up soaking wet. Now, we may sometimes have high expectations that these clothes will prevent us from getting wet in a hurricane, but what is certain is that at least some standards must be met for a jumper to be able to boast of being waterproof or, as it would be better to call it, water resistant.


How do you know if a product is waterproof?

In general, there is not a unified standard in the industry that determines when an item is waterproof or not. What does exist are certain indicators that test the quality of the clothing and finally whether or not it is waterproof

One of the tests to which the clothing is put through is the ISO 811: 1981 standard (Textile fabrics -- Determination of resistance to water penetration -- Hydrostatic pressure test). This determines how the test should be carried out in the laboratory to identify whether there is a sufficient degree of water resistance.

 

Technology: the word that sums it all up

To achieve a waterproof item it is not enough to choose a material and make it, create a design and put it on the market, for a jumper or jacket to be waterproof you must first study its behaviour under certain circumstances, rethink them, add, remove or mix materials and when you finally have the wished result proceed with the creation of the clothing.

A waterproof jumper is accomplished with fabrics that are innovated in the textile market and the perfect combination of these, for example: the Krono Polo Waterproof jumper is woven with a polyamide base, which is a polymer obtained naturally, since it is present in wool and silk, it has  great capacity to stretch, as well as retaining heat and absorbing moisture; polyester is also used, one of the most widely used materials, but if a high quality one is obtained, it provides great resistance and can withstand a lot of wear and tear; polyurethane is highly flexible and comfortable and, finally, lycra makes it breathable and perfect for accompanying you when doing sport.

The combinations of these fabrics make our Krono jumper not only waterproof, but also a durable, breathable and versatile item. You can wear it for polo or golf, but also for a day at home or out and about.

At Krono Polo we are working on a perfect waterproof item, in line with our motto of innovating the market, offering high-quality articles and always being contemporary and youthful; we look for items that are perfect to wear with a jeans and going for a walk; with your polo practice trousers or with your trunks in the gym, the result will always be the same: comfort and style. By 2021 we expect the launch of our new items, which will be on the look out to give a new style of the waterproof jumpers and jackets, we recognize that there are many jumpers, but only very few are waterproof.
