OUR FABRICS

eVent®

A global leader in waterproof and breathable technology

eVent ® fabrics is a global leader in waterproof and breathable technology. Designed to keep users dry and comfortable across a wide range of conditions and outdoor activities, eVent's advanced fabric technologies are sustainably engineered to meet the highest performance specifications.

COMFORT IN ALL CONDITIONS

Built on the premise that waterproof/breathable should also mean dry and comfortable, eVent® waterproof laminates feature patented Direct Venting™ technology to instantly vent excess heat and water vapor.

In 1999, eVent® developed a patented oleophobic microscopic coating method that allowed them to create waterproof laminates while maintaining an open pore structure.

The open pore structure allows excess heat and moisture vapor, generated by your body, to instantly escape through the open pores, while the microscopic pores and ePTFE coating provide wind and waterproof exterior protection.

INSTANTLY AIR-PERMEABLE + WATERPROOF + WINDPROOF

What does eVent® deliver? The most breathable waterproof outerwear available.

eVent® is fully waterproof and windproof to keep you dry and comfortable in wet and snowy weather.
eVent® lets heat and body moisture quickly escape so there's no clammy, chilly build up of sweat inside.
eVent® maintains the body’s natural evaporative cooling so you don’t overheat.

An eVent® fabrics 3-layer laminate has the following layers:

Face (outer) fabric: Repels weather and wind. Is often coated with a durable water repellent (DWR), which provides the distinctive "beading".
Membrane (middle): The eVent® Direct Venting™ membrane is waterproof. Microscopic pores are too small to let larger water molecules pass through from the outside. Smaller molecules, of moisture vapor and heat, can escape from the inside.
Backer (inner): The third layer of the laminate is an inner lining or backer that protects the membrane and adds fabric comfort.

MATERIALS WE USE

eVent® DValpine™

The 3-Layer laminate construction of eVent® DValpine™ uses an air-permeable membrane that allows for moisture vapor and body heat to escape from the inside, while at the same time preventing snow, sleet, and wind from penetrating the surface. Combined with a durable, face fabric and a tricot backer, this material will keep you dry and comfortable all day.
