Pertex Endurance

Endurance fabrics have one main objective - to provide maximum protection from moisture.

Pertex®Endurance fabrics are coated with a microscopic thin layer of hydrophobic material. This layer is so thin that it hardly adds any weight, nor does it affect the softness of the material considerably. One thing we learned from sleeping outside is that your bag tends to get wet. Pertex®Endurance fabrics have one main objective - to provide maximum protection from moisture. This works both ways:

  • Pertex®Endurance keeps water, snow and wind out.
  • Pertex®Endurance allows moisture to pass freely from the inside. This keeps your bag dry from condensation.
  • Key Benefits

  • 100% windproof.
  • 1500mm water column, highly water resistant.
  • Very breathable, also at low temperatures.
  • Moisture movement ensures the filling is kept dry.
  • Winner of Backpacker Award 2003.
