Key Benefits
- Seams waterproofed to 5,000mm to maintain integrity under pressure
- DWR finish maintains level 4 performance after washing, supporting repeated use
- Fabric blend of 15% nylon and 85% terylene offers a balance of durability and weight
Problems It Solves
- Garments that fail in rain due to unverified or overstated waterproof claims
- Breathability loss during activity caused by low vapour permeability in the shell
- Seam leakage in high-pressure conditions due to inadequate seam sealing
- DWR finish degradation after washing, leading to reduced water beading over time
Who It Is For
- Outdoor apparel brands sourcing technical outerwear with test-verified performance
- Importers requiring documented waterproof and breathability data before order confirmation
- Private-label buyers needing a fabric-backed garment with consistent performance across batches
Application Scenarios
- Outdoor use in sustained rain where high waterproof performance is required
- Activity wear in variable weather where breathability prevents internal dampness
- Garments requiring durable water repellency that holds after multiple wash cycles
- Programmes needing documented performance metrics for compliance or retail submission
Technical Features and Construction
- Shell fabric composed of 15% nylon and 85% terylene
- Seams waterproofed to 5,000mm
- Durable water repellent finish rated level 5 before washing, level 4 after washing
Materials
- Shell fabric: 15% nylon, 85% terylene
- Seam sealing applied to prevent water ingress at stitch lines
- Durable water repellent finish applied to the outer surface
How It Is Made
- Fabric blend of 15% nylon and 85% terylene is treated for waterproofing before cutting
- Seams are sealed using a waterproof tape or adhesive after assembly
- DWR finish is applied post-construction and tested for performance before shipping
Quality Control and Testing
- Seam waterproofing tested to 5,000mm
- DWR finish tested at level 5 before washing and level 4 after washing
Certification
Customization Options
- Colourway beyond the standard: available on request, specification TBC
- Label, hangtag and packaging: buyer supplied artwork
- Size grading and fit block: adjustable to the buyer's spec sheet
Compared With the Alternatives
| A fabric with lower moisture permeability | YD306 allows 10,000 g/m²/24h vapour transmission, reducing internal dampness |
|---|---|
| A garment with no seam sealing | YD306 has sealed seams tested to 5,000mm, preventing water ingress |
Use and Care Guide
- Wash only when necessary to preserve DWR performance
- Reapply DWR treatment after washing to restore level 5 beading
- Inspect seam sealing regularly in high-pressure rain conditions
- Avoid abrasion to the outer surface to maintain waterproof integrity

What is the DWR finish level before and after washing?
Level 5 before washing, level 4 after washing. Reapplication is recommended after washing.
Can the fabric be washed without losing waterproof performance?
Yes, but DWR performance degrades after washing. Reapply treatment to restore beading.
What is the fabric composition?
15% nylon and 85% terylene by weight.
Can we request other colours or custom specifications?
Yes. Contact [email protected] with your requirements for confirmation.
