A tough, long lasting, extremely weatherproof material, which is breathable, quiet and comfortable to wear. 100% cotton, this is the best natural material available for shell clothing and is extensively used by the British Antarctic Survey and for immersion suits.
We make waterproof jackets with a double layer of material, making them warmer than most shell garments (370g/square metre).
We also use Ventile® as a single layer over fleece fabric for a tough, extremely shower resistant, warm, windproof jacket. Single layer Ventile® is showerproof and windproof, particularly suitable for active use (180g/square metre).
Fleece Fabrics
We use predominantly Polartec®200, a polyester fleece which is soft, light, flexible and warm. It absorbs little water, dries quickly and is very durable. It wicks away perspiration to the outside making it very comfortable to wear. It can be worn either as an outer garment or used as a mid layer under a shell garment. (280g/square metre).
Berber
A hardwearing fleece fabric with a chunky textured outer layer. Lightweight & warm, it wicks away moisture easily, and dries quickly. 45% acrylic, 55% polyester. (250g/square metre)
Pertex®
A soft, light, flexible, showerproof material, used as an outer layer for windproof fleeces. These are highly breathable, extremely comfortable to wear, and will keep you warm and dry in all but the heaviest showers. Perspiration is quickly wicked away from the skin through the fleece and out through the thin outer Pertex® layer. The result is a warm, windproof, almost condensation-free internal environment.
(330g/square metre for the Pertex®/Polartec® combination)
