Ventia™ is a specialized fabric technology that features a 2.5-layer membrane/laminate. This means it has a waterproof layer to keep rain out, a protective layer for durability, and a lightweight inner layer that allows sweat to escape. This combination ensures you stay dry and comfortable, even during intense activities.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. Our updated DWR treatment is environmentally friendly, as it does not release harmful toxins during production, ensuring you can enjoy the outdoors without compromising your health or the environment.

Fully sealed seams are crucial for maintaining the waterproof integrity of rain pants. This construction technique involves covering the stitching with waterproof tape, preventing water from seeping through the needle holes. This feature ensures that you stay dry, even in heavy rain, making the pants more effective for outdoor use.

Articulated knees are designed to follow the natural bend of your knee, allowing for greater movement and flexibility. This design feature enhances comfort and performance during activities like hiking or climbing, making it easier to navigate challenging terrains without feeling restricted.

Yes, the materials used in our products are carefully selected to be safe for both your skin and the environment. With certifications like Bluesign Approved and environmentally friendly DWR treatments, you can feel confident that you are choosing products that prioritize your health and the planet's well-being.
