Ventrix

Ventrix™ is the ultimate insulation technology that keeps the body warm without overheating, adapting to movement and regulating temperature. The jackets feature perforations in key zones that open with movement, allowing excess heat and perspiration to escape, while remaining closed in times of rest to retain heat.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND VENTRIX™
 

We tested the heat index of Ventrix™ jackets against traditional synthetic insulated jackets. To determine how hot weather “feels” to the body, we measured the relative humidity and air temperature inside the garment. With internal sensors we were able to develop a “comfort factor” using a heat index that looked at the combined temperature and humidity inside the jacket.

Micro vents open with motion and exertion

Temperature regulation for comfort throughout any activity

  • High permeability when active - to regulate temperatures 
  • Low permeability when static - to help insulation
  • Highly durable face fabric for maximum performance as an outer layer
  • Synthetic insulation for warmth in cold, wet conditions

“We are focussing on the perforation in the insulation as this is what is unique to Ventrix™. However, the true magic in VentrixTM is the combination of soft, stretch insulation with two durable and highly air permeable fabrics that breathe inside and out. The perforation is just the cherry on top.”

    "I loved to have Ventrix™ as my top layer.

    With little underneath it was perfect for lower altitudes to keep me protected from a chilly breeze whilst climbing or trekking.

    On summit day I used it as well as my top layer but combined with the light down jacket underneath. With just those layers I climbed an 8,000 meter peak without getting too cold at any point of the climb."
