Talk:Waterproof fabric

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the word "waterproof" regulated for the benefit of US consumers, the way "Organic" is now? In other words, do manufacturers have to prove their garments meet any particular standard to be label them as "waterproof"?

The other day I saw some plain gloves that were labeled in three places that they were "weatherproof". I wonder what that meant! --12.176.101.89 01:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I think this article is awfully biased twoards Britan, considering it only uses british statistics and only british measurements, with no relief in sight except those who know how many feet are in 9.8 KpA. Silverfireshadow (talk) 23:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Specific definition

In the article, there's now a specific definition of waterproof (1000 mm water) given with no source. Surely different definitions exist, so providing this one without a mention of the organization that established this definition is not very helpful.Ccrrccrr (talk) 01:23, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
