Hi Mikeg, there are numerous recognised test methods in publication that test the waterproofness of a fabric and also of a garment, and none of them involve a fire hose.
The pressure and volume of water hitting the wearers was far in excess of any rain conditions that you would experience in real life, the angle at which this vast volume of water was hitting the wearers was also unrealistic (rain tends not to fall along or up).
A far better test is to use a domestic shower, the drop rate and size is much more reflective of real life conditions. I hope this is a more plausible alternative?
