It shows how many wet flex cycles the material can go through before failing in the waterproof test… toi test longevity. 10800 would ‘equal’ one month of use in the rain. (if the 5400 = 2weeks per the chart)

So for the TT grey sample it will be fully (as advertised) waterproof after 2weeks and a day or so of constant use …~6000cycles. Then, for the next two weeks (untill ~10800 cycles) it gradually gets less waterproof. But all the time it stays above the 15xx mm test, meaning that it remains waterproof all the time.

The RBTR Olive works fine for two weeks then fails to below waterproof levels towards the tail end of the month.

The Pro silny is never waterproof and looks like is is a bad choice for shelters.

The magnifications are just cause Richard is a old school acid tester and it reminds him of the glory days. In the late 80’s Richard was known as Randy of the Redwoods. Then he bought a thermal camera and moved on to another trip.

But I’ll get by on my feet some day. The good Lord willin’, if he says I may.

BTW this could totally be wrong. I failed out of 3 colleges… But its what I think is going on.
