Tech/Engineering - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / protective fabric
Spanish term or phrase: RET (textiles)
From Spain: RET Tejido Exterior, RET prenda

I think RET stands for Resistencia a la Evaporación del Textil, but I need the exact wording in English and most especially its acronym. This is in a table with very little space.

Thanks so much!

El RET no es solo un concepto para medir la resistencia textil de transpirabilidad, esta UNE-EN ISO 11092:2015 la usan muchas normas entre su batería de ensayos



What is breathability RET rating?
Resistance of Evaporation of a Textile (RET)
RET Score Breathability Notes
0 – 6 Extremely breathable. Comfortable at higher activity rate.
6 – 13 Good to very good breathability. Comfortable at moderate activity rate.
13 – 20 Satisfactory to acceptable breathability. Uncomfortable at high activity rate.

Ret is the measurement of the resistance to evaporative heat loss. The lower the Ret value, the less resistance to moisture transfer and therefore higher breathability.

agree  philgoddard: It's variously written RET and Ret, and opinions differ as to what it stands for.
