Faults deemed to have been caused by misuse or improper care (including washing not in accordance with the product wash care instructions) are not covered by the guarantee. To Cattanach, NeoShell isn’t really about breathability. To him, there’s more to it than that. It’s about air flow. Many of the items we sell will come with the full manufacturer's guarantee. SMU, Ex Display and production products are covered under these conditions. Montane is a proudly British outdoor brand which produces lightweight and exceptionally breathable mountain clothing for endurance events such as ultra-marathons through to multi day hikes. The Gore-Tex is laminated to an abrasion-resistant outer face textile, thereby providing durable and robust protection. The inner surface is coated with an abrasion-resistant treatment, which improves the garments durability and reliability. Gore-Tex has engineered this material to be used for hiking, trekking, and mountaineering.

Waterproof overtrousers are often baggy by necessity. Some manufacturers offer articulated knee joints, Velcro calf adjustment, ankle cuff press studs, waist drawstrings, and varying leg lengths to help combat waterproof trouser looseness. Waistband Shaped easy to use cuffs with adjustable hook and loop tabs for a close fit around wrists or glovesThese days the level of waterproof protection that a fabric provides tends to be measured in terms of its hydrostatic head and the higher this number is, the more waterproof it is. In this regard, Polartec with its 10,000mm rating, sits a fair bit below its main competitors, most of whom are in the 20,000s. Does that mean less reliability then? Would you be caught short in this stuff if you headed out into some stormy Scottish weather? Fortunately, as Cattanach explains, that wouldn’t be the case. Applying decades of textile know-how to our product range allows them not only to have a little stretch but to also fit who Polartec are.” But we don’t let this stop us, because all we have to be is prepared, and stowable waterproof trousers are an essential element of this readiness. A decent pair of waterproof trousers are a must, and those with the addition of Gore-Tex are considered the crème de la crème of such garments.
