{"product_id":"explore-ventile®-men-s-jacket","title":"Explore Ventile® Jacket","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eA lightweight, robust and versatile men’s jacket that offers excellent year-round protection in the high mountain or on cold climate expeditions to the polar regions. Made to last, the jacket will retain its performance over time and age gracefully into a classic, weathered look.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nCreated in collaboration with leading outdoor and wilderness guides, the design incorporates numerous well-considered technical details. The Ventile fabric is windproof and will keep you dry for extended periods during light showers. Relatively quick drying and virtually noise-free, the fabric has a soft, comfortable feel against the skin.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe jacket is made from compression-woven organic Ventile® cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e that is water-repellent yet exceptionally breathable (non-condensing). The secret to Ventile's water-repellency lies in the swelling of the woven fibres when they come into contact with water, forming an effective barrier against light rain. Originally developed fire hose material, Ventile fabric was repurposed as cockpit clothing by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) just before World War II, as a way to increase fighter pilot survivability during cold water landings. It has stood the test of time and is still in use in the RAF today. This high-performing fabric was also worn during the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953, and on numerous demanding polar expeditions since.\r\n\r\nThe water-repellency of the Ventile construction has been enhanced by an \u003cstrong\u003eadded Schoeller® 3-layer hydrophilic membrane to the hood, shoulders and upper arms.\u003c\/strong\u003e This combination offers a lightweight and comfortable jacket with exceptional breathability while keeping you dry during light showers. At times of prolonged or heavy downpours, you may experience water seepage, but in exchange, appreciate the superior breathability compared to regular shell jackets. A good tip is to pack a lightweight storm shelter as a weatherproof cover for yourself and your backpack during heavy rain showers. Storm shelters have multiple uses in the outdoors and are worth their weight in your backpack!\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor optimal moisture transport and thermoregulation\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend wearing \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.brynjeusa.com\/product\/unisex-super-thermo-long-sleeve-shirt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSuper Thermo mesh\u003c\/a\u003e next to the skin, and a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.brynjeusa.com\/product\/unisex-zip-polo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eClassic merino wool midlayer\u003c\/a\u003e on top.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eFit: Men’s slim fit\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMaterial 1: 100% raw organic Ventile®  fibres that swell and form an effective rain barrier when they come into contact with water\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMaterial 2: Schoeller® 3-layer hydrophilic membrane on shoulders, upper arms and hood for added rain protection\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHighly breathable (non-condensing)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eQuick-drying\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eLightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eWindproof and water-repellent\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eRobust and durable\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eSoft, comfortable and easy to move in\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eQuiet - perfect for hunting, nature watching and nature photography\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHood: spacious, helm-compatible hood with four adjustment options, one-hand hood adjustment, wire peak and mount for fur trim\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHigh collar with soft chin guard\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eTwo external chest pockets, two external large waist pockets, and two internal pockets lined with mesh for optimal ventilation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eYKK water-repellent zippers throughout, YKK vislon two-way front zip with storm flap.
