Paratex Dry is a 100% waterproof fabric (hydrophilic polyurethane coating) with a hydrostatic head in excess of 5000mm (items with a hydro static head in excess of 1500mm are generally considered waterproof)

Detailed information

What it is:
100% waterproof fabric (Hydrophillic Polyurathane Coating)

How it works:
Closely constructed fabric with a ripstop construction. Teamed with a Hydrophillic Polyurathane (PU) which transfers water vapour chemically from the inside to the outside (due to the temperature differential between the inside of the product and out)

Features:

100% Waterproof with a Hydro Static Head in Excess of 5000mm (Items with a Hydrostatic Head over 1500mm are generally considered waterproof)
Only ever used in fully taped seamed systems.
Ripstop Weave
Lightweight
Tough
Breathable (will transmit upto 7.5 litres of moisture per m2 per 24 hours)
Soft to the touch
Completely Windproof (trapping and stopping the movement of warm air in the sleeping bag or Garment)
Outer Fabric treated with a Durable Water Repellant. (water repellancy can be maintained by a cool tumble dry after washing and periodic retreatment with suitable after care products such as Nikwax or Grangers)
Completely manufactured within Europe (Extruded, Woven and Dyed & Finished)

Where it is used:
As a breathable Bivvi Bag (Waterproof sleeping bag outer) or a shell fabric in waterproof jackets. It is important to note that as this solid coating air can not pass so care should be taken not to completely seal any bivvi bag system to prevent suffocation.

TS1

TS1 which stands for Thermal suede is a lightweight polyester with a sueded finish which uses a combination of yarns with different thicknesses. Microfibre yarns (less than 1 decitex) go on the outside and Macrofibre (3 decitex) go on the inside. The Macro fibre yarns are raised to produce a short pile, similar in feel to Suede. The construction exploits a basic physical property - that water will always move from a low to high surface area or from the Macro to Micro filament yarns, thus moving water from the body towards the outside of the bag.

Ventile

Ventile and it's secret lies in the uncoated and unlaminated construction. The fabrics are 100% cotton, utilising the finest, long staple fibres, only found in the top 2% of the world's crop. After gentle spinning and doubling, the yarn is woven into a very dense Oxford weave, using up to 30% more yarn than conventional woven fabrics.

The performance of Ventile® fabrics results from the properties of cotton fibres which expand when they come into contact with water. The combination of fibres, yarns and weave causes expansion in a uniform manner. This allows the interstices within the fabric to close up, preventing the further passage of water.

WEATHERPROOF
Ventile® protects you from wind, rain, sleet and snow.
WINDPROOF
The fabric keeps out the wind and hence helps protect from wind chill.
BREATHABLE
Ventile's very high moisture vapour transmission rate helps keep you dry when active.
NATURAL 100% COTTON
The benefit of cotton with environmental peace of mind.
COMFORTABLE
Enjoy the great outdoors and strolling down the high street in equal comfort.
DURABLE
The fabric is very long lasting. You can expect years of use from garments in Ventile®.
QUIET
Ventile® has no "rustle" and is ideal for camera work, hunting or bird watching where noise would be a problem.
RELIABLE
The fabric's proven performance over many years means that garments won't suddenly breakdown unexpectedly.
LOW CONDUCTIVITY
Ideal where static can cause problems.
