DWR, or Durable Water Repellent treatment, is a special coating applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains, water beads up and rolls off the fabric instead of soaking in, keeping you dry. Our non-PFC DWR treatment is environmentally friendly, ensuring you stay protected without harming the planet.

Ripstop fabric is woven with a unique grid pattern that enhances its strength and durability, making it resistant to tearing and ripping. This is especially beneficial for outdoor activities where gear is subjected to rough conditions, ensuring your clothing lasts longer and performs better.

Ultrasonically welded seams are created using high-frequency sound waves, which bond fabric pieces together without traditional stitching. This method results in flatter seams that are less bulky and more waterproof, providing better protection against the elements while maintaining comfort and flexibility.

Stretch-woven fabric is designed to stretch in multiple directions, allowing for greater freedom of movement. This is crucial for outdoor activities like climbing and hiking, where flexibility is key. Our jackets made with stretch-woven fabric ensure you can move comfortably and easily, no matter the challenge.

A Climbing Helmet-Compatible hood is specifically designed to fit comfortably over a climbing helmet. This feature is essential for climbers who need to wear helmets for safety. It allows you to stay protected from the elements without compromising your safety gear, ensuring you can focus on your climb.

The combination of DWR treatment, Ripstop fabric, ultrasonically welded seams, stretch-woven fabric, and a climbing helmet-compatible hood creates a high-performance jacket that is durable, flexible, and protective. These features work together to keep you dry, comfortable, and safe during your outdoor adventures, making it easier for you to enjoy your activities without worrying about your gear.
