Description

With the same excellent moisture management properties as the Vapour Active, the Paratex Xtreme outer is teamed with TS1 (Thermal Suede One). This brushed polyester lining not only significantly boosts the thermal properties of the jacket by trapping precious still air in its fine hairs, it also actively seeks moisture within the garment to wick away and aid evaporation. Supplied with its own mesh based stuff sack.

• Full Length Zip
• Zipped Hand Pockets
• Adjustable Waist
• Wind Proof

Material Details

What it is: Range of Ripstop Fabrics with Superior Water Repellency.

How it works: Closely constructed fabric with a ripstop construction. Tough when it matters but soft to the touch. Specially treated to maximise water repellency.

• Ripstop Weave
• Lightweight
• Tough
• Highly Breathable (will transmit 12 litres of moisture per m² per 24 hours)
• Wicking
• Soft to touch
• Wind proof to the industry standard of 3 cubic feet per minute (this keeps strong winds out or when used as a lining   warm air and loft in).
• Water Repellent a British Standard Spray Rating of 4 Minimum (water repellency can be maintained by a cool tumble   dry after washing and periodic retreatment with suitable after care products such as Nikwax or Grangers).
• Completely manufactured within Europe (Extruded, Woven and Dyed & Finished).

Where it is used: As an outer fabric to sleeping bags to give a good balance between toughness and functionality.

TS1

Thermal suede is lightweight polyester with a sueded finish which uses a combination of yarns with different thicknesses. Microfibre yarns (less than 1 decitex) go on the outside and Macrofibre (3 decitex) go on the inside. The Macro fibre yarns are raised to produce a short pile, similar in feel to Suede. The construction exploits a basic physical property - that water will always move from a low to high surface area or from the Macro to Micro filament yarns, thus moving water from the body towards the outside of the bag.
