Drilite
Drilite® is our range of exclusive, breathable, waterproof fabrics. In this range of fabrics is everything we have learnt about comfort and protection in the mountains. A waterproof membrane provides all the protection you need yet measures a minuscule fifteen microns thick. It allows us to make jackets light enough for mountain athletes, packable enough for alpine hikers and tough enough for serious mountain routes.
Drilite® has been in our range for over three decades and continues to evolve and improve. The latest generation of Drilite® is constructed from a hydrophilic, monolithic polyurethane membrane that is waterproof, breathable and durable. It has a minimum 20,000mm hydrostatic head to keep you dry: well exceeeding the benchmark minimum standards of waterproof performance, but it is what we consider necessary for all-day, all-weather protection. For breathability, Drilite® exceeds (and sometimes far exceeds) 20,000g/sqm/24h to ensure you stay comfortable, even when working hard in the mountains. These waterproofness and breathability figures frequently exceed those of well-known industry players.
