Mountain climbing, such as rock climbing, snow mountain climbing, etc., requires a high load and wear-resistant fabric because of the equipment. Also, the waterproof performance should be able to face changeable weather.

We test the “tear strength” when we want to know the strength of the fabric.

By knowing how much force is required to tear the fabric, we can assess the durability and life time of the gears.

Tear strength (or tear resistance) is a measure of how well a material can withstand the effects of tearing. It is a useful engineering measurement for a wide variety of materials by many different test methods.

The tear strength determines the load and durability of the fabric. It can be a measure of the performance of tents, umbrellas, or mountaineering gear.
