Last but not least, on front, we use a slightly warmer and very breathable wadding that is made from 100% recycled polyester.

WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTY OF COMPONENT (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH WATERPROOFING)

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it.
Your gilet will not soak up water and stays lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.

Our water repellent treatment is PFC-free.

The water-repellent treatment of our MT 500 trekking gilet does not contain PFCs.
PFCs are used to make fabric water-repellent, however they are toxic to the environment and people. By substituting PFCs with other technologies giving the same level of performance, we are reducing the environmental impact.
