straight up that looks like 10,000 g of water gets through the fabric over an area of 2 square meters in a 24 hour period. I think, but im not positive, that about 6,000 is decent, but yea, 10000 is supposed to be real good.

Its how much mass of water pressure (10,000g) can be applied to a surface area of fabric (m2) for 24 hours...without seeping through the fabric.

word?

^except that it's incorrect. The breathability is measured in how many grams of water vapor can pass (evaporate) through 1 square yard of fabric in 24 hours.

Predatorwear fabrics are 20,000mm waterproof, 20,000gms/24hrs breathable.

The higher the number, the better for both waterproof and breathability
