Ventile® cloth, first developed in England in 1943, continues to be the ultimate alternative to synthetic rainwear. Commissioned by Winston Churchill during WWII, Ventile® was created to help RAF Pilots survive the change in temperature during shifting altitudes. It summited Mount Everest in 1953 too, proving to be a versatile and resistant outerwear material. Today, Ventile® is woven in Switzerland and treated with a light coating of DWR for a modern twist and enhanced water resistance.
