An ultra durable shell fabric with a cotton h&, it has the 2-layer construction of a classic ripstop weave. Waterproof rating: 20000mm/ Breathability rating: 15000g/m 2/24h. Waterproof Rating: This is measured & expressed as Hydrostatic Head in millimetres (mm). To find out the Hydrostatic Head of a fabric the manufacturer will take a clear tube & clamp their material over the bottom end. They will then fill the tube slowly with water & watch to see how high the column of water can get before the material lets drips through. The higher the hydrostatic head, the better the water protection. The European Standard a fabric must meet to be classified as waterproof is a Hydrostatic Head rating of 1500mm, & on average, outerwear fabrics tend to have a hydrostatic head of 10000mm & above. Breathability Rating: Breathability is measured as a rating in grams of how much vapour a square metre of fabric will allow to pass through in 24 hours (g/m 2/24). For general use, 10000g/m 2/24 & above is desirable. It should be noted that breathable fabrics do not stop you sweating & care should be taken as to clothing worn beneath waterproof/breathable shells. High quality base layers & fleece or insulated midlayers should in themselves draw vapour from the body & pass it outwards, thus allowing the outer fabric to do its job. Cotton clothing should never be worn as part of a performance clothing layering system. G.I.F.T: Green Initiatives For Tomorrow
- Initiative that takes people's trash & turns it into a variety of fabrics & insulation. It also uses more sustainable materials in the construction of equipment. PFOA-free DWR:PFOA (Perfluorooctanioc Acid) Free DWR coatings have been part of the Bonfire line for a number of years. In keeping with the EPA (Environment Protection Agency) mandate of total elimination of PFOA in apparel by 2015, Bonfire's an industry leader for reducing the use of PFOA throughout their product line. DWR: Durable Water Repellent
- A DWR-treated fabric will bead-up water on its surface to stop it soaking into the fibres. This maintains breathability & shortens drying times Classic

Fit: Developed over 25 seasons, it is the perfect fit for most riders, in most situations. Not too short, long, baggy or tight, with no-lift in the sleeves & a perfectly placed powder skirt. Every detail, every seam, every riding condition & sleeve position has been tested to make sure that Classic never lets you down. Bonfires most versatile cut for all riding conditions.
