The idea is that in cold, damp conditions, moisture from your body passes through the inner liner, then condenses on the inside of the colder outer layer of fabric. Once it’s done that, it falls down and exists through a mesh layer at the bottom of the liner. Outdoors Magic: Feature rich, protective feel, okay breathability, warm and with a reasonable hood.

Ventile® fabrics for RAF clothing went into mass production in 1943 and the military association still remains today. Garment designs have changed over the years but you will still find Ventile® suits in modern Tornado jets with the RAF and other NATO airforces. The outer consists of a pique weave with a durable water resistant treatment laminated onto a waterproof hydrophilic membrane. It is an entirely natural product that offers a unique level of comfort, look and feel as well as being windproof, highly breathable, very durable and quiet. Primaloft insulation is soft and supple like down, making it an excellent choice for active outerwear.Ventile® is not coated or laminated yet the combination of the dense weave and the swelling properties of the fibres when wet provide excellent weatherproofing. The moisture management is inherent in the manufactured construction and cannot be washed out, ensuring it lasts the lifetime of the garment. PrimaLoft is incredibly soft, lightweight and breathable with excellent water repellency so you remain dry, warm and comfortable, even under the most extreme conditions. Keela was founded on the East Coast of Scotland, the perfect place to innovate and test outdoor garments for the changeable British weather. With our HQ located in Glenrothes, we continue to provide UK-led garment designs. The Keela Way

The active ingredient in Insect Shield, permethrin, is so tightly bonded to the fabric fibers that it retains effective repellency through the expected life of the product.Think about your car windscreen on a cold day… fogging up due to the temperature difference between the inside and the outside here force ventilation is needed to clear the moisture.

Lyme disease is the most commonly reported insect borne illness in the United States, and has now become one of the fastest growing epidemics to date, while Malaria is responsible for approximately one million deaths worldwide. ADS works in harmony with your body, providing maximum comfort during periods of high activity outdoor sports. Because its individual fibres are water repellent, Primaloft retains much of its ability to keep you warm, even when moisture has soaked through. Insect Shield’s long-lasting clothing treatment — proven to last through 70 washings on apparel and 25 washings on gear — is a vital solution for people living in harm’s way. In an era of third-party manufacturing, we also aim to provide our garments in an ethical and sustainable manner; as one of the few true manufacturers left in the outdoors world. Working to ExtremesEvery day, millions of people are exposed to insects that can carry malaria, Dengue fever, trypanosomiasis, fi lariasis, leishmaniasis, and other dangerous diseases.

Similar to the structure of down with incredible softness, Primaloft is highly compressible and easy to stuff. It’s this dedication that has led to us supplying a range of Emergency Services over the years, from Police to Military, Fire Services to Mountain Rescue Teams. A Good Influence
