You may be wondering... what is a WP rating?
WP = waterproof.
A WP rating is a level of resistance towards water, typically on items of clothing/fabric. Understanding the WP rating of a product can help you determine its level of water resistance, providing valuable information for your purchasing decisions.
For example:
| Rating | Resistance | Elements |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 2,000mm | Water resistant | Very light rain |
| 2,000mm–5,000mm | Waterproof | Light to average rain |
| 5,000mm-10,000mm | Very Waterproof | Moderate to heavy rain |
| 10,000mm and above | Highly Waterproof | Heavy rain |
When purchasing a jacket that you're wanting excellent cover from, aim to purchase one that has a rating of 5,000mm and up. This way, you can ensure maximum protection from the elements and stay dry in extreme conditions.
