WHY IS BREATHABILITY IMPORTANT?
The ability of a jacket to allow perspiration to escape is as important as not letting water in, especially if you will be doing anything energetic. If a waterproof jacket is not breathable, sweat will be unable to escape, making the user feel damp. It is common for people to feel as though their waterproof has ‘leaked’ when in fact it is perspiration from the inside they are feeling.
WATERPROOF
Waterproofing has come a long way since Scandinavians used leather to stay dry – we have a long history of figuring out the best way to survive bad weather.
SEAM SEALED
Jackets can be treated with a waterproof coating and have a waterproof membrane, but still not be fully waterproof.
SUPERIOR WARMTH
Scandinavia's proximity to the arctic circle demands for warm jackets for fall and winter.
