A raindrop is 100 microns in size. Water vapor from our bodies is .0004 microns in size. So a garments fabrication must have pores smaller than 100, but larger than .0004 microns. The larger the pores, the more breathable, less waterproof and the smaller the pore, the more waterproof, but less breathable. So needless to say, there are several waterproof/breathable combinations to consider.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - breathable%2Dwaterproof
