For decades the requirement of wet weather clothing is simple: Keep the elements out.
But more recent advances in material invention and garment design have made the function of these items much more elaborate: Let the moisture out. Allow it to breathe. Keep the seams and fasteners from leaking. Divert rain from the face – especially when wind is part of the scenario, and run-off from the legs. Maintain easy access to items such as maps. Include venting for rapid heat release. Enable quick, uncomplicated opening and closing. Keep it strong. Keep it light. Keep it simple! And be sure it’s comfortable. Needs to look sharp, too.
The solution is Wilderness Wear’s Chameleon™ and Chameleon Plus™ membrane technology. Via a fused, multi-layer construction, the larger sized particles of external water are repelled, and the smaller particles of contained moisture (from condensation and perspiration) and expelled, all while allowing the passage of air through the actual material.
[The principle behind technical wet weather clothing is complex: Prevent external water from getting in, while allowing contained moisture (from condensation and perspiration) to escape – all while letting air move between the spaces via the actual material.]
