It has over nine billion pores per square inch that are each 20,000 times smaller than a water drop, while being 700 times larger than water vapor. This means that rain won't get through the membrane, but that perspiration vapor can escape through the membrane. Different iterations of this basic membrane principle are used in a variety products throughout the outdoor industry. Durable Water Repellent (DWR) DWR is a fabric treatment that improves the water-repellency of the outer layer of the material while maintaining its breathability. RECCO RECCO Rescue System is a two-part technology. Ski resorts and mountain rescue teams carry RECCO detectors, which send out a search signal. RECCO reflectors worn in clothing bounce back a directional signal that directs the rescuer straight to the reflector. Unlike other technologies, multiple RECCO reflectors on a person can improve detection.
