At its heart lies a non-porous hydrophilic PU membrane specially constructed on a molecular level that allows vapour molecules to pass easily from inside a garment to the outside. 100% waterproof, it is also environmentally friendly as it only generates in its production 1/10th of the CO2 emissions compared to other membranes. Prima Loft One: The ultimate microfibre insulation, it has one of the highest warmth-to-weight ratios of any synthetic insulation. Ultra fine fibres are specially treated & then combined into an insulating core that is incredibly soft, lightweight & water resistant. Thinsulate Platinum Flex: Durable yet lightweight stretch insulation that has excellent heat retention properties even in wet conditions. 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. Recco avalanche rescue reflector: Using sophisticated radar technology, the Recco reflector forms the passive element of a 2-part avalanche search system. Ski resorts & mountain rescue teams carry Recco detectors, which send out a search signal, & the Recco reflector bounces back a directional signal that directs the rescuer straight to the reflector. More than 600 resorts & rescue services around the world use the Recco Rescue System as part of their immediate response.
