Shell

Pertex Shield and Pertex Shield+

Pertex Shield uses highly advanced face fabrics combined with a breathable microporous waterproof coating.

Pertex Shield+ Is a technically advanced face fabric technology combined with a waterproof and breathable PU film laminate.

We use both fabrics in a 2.5 Layer format and pertex Shield+ is also avalable in a variant that includes an element of stretch.

 

Vapour-rise

Vapour-rise Lite

Vapour-rise is a soft-shell system designed specifically by Rab Carrington himself in conjunction with Pertex.

The Vapour-rise system relies on a 'denier gradient' and consists of a 2 layer design to  maximise breathability, protection and comfort.

New for Spring 2012 is a new lightweight form of Vapour-rise that uses a lighter weight version of Pertex Equilibrium outer fabric combined with a very lightweight tricot fleece liner.
