In Response To: Re: The table (Kevin Street)

Warth per weight is essentially meaningless when it comes to immersion protection and is very misleading. If the people at Malden Mills are getting testy, it's probably because people - perhaps customers of theirs - have figured this out and are complaining. If I were a manufacturer who was selling Polartec as immersion protection, I'd be pretty worried about the liability I've exposed myself to by using such misleading data.
