About PERTEX® PERTEX® is a range of high-performance fabrics balancing lightness, strength and performance engineered for use in apparel, sleeping bags and down jackets. PERTEX® fabric technology is based on a natural phenomenon called capillary action technology which means that moisture moves through the capillaries between the fibres and spreads over a large surface where it evaporates quickly. PERTEX® fabrics also have a high level of wind resistance but allow a precisely controlled amount of airflow through the fabric. This controlled airflow plays an important role in evaporating excessive moisture build-up from the inside of your jacket. Care Instructions Machine wash 40, mild process. Do not bleach.
