For those of us not put off by the great British wet winter, we're all too familiar with the endless search for waterproof clothing that doesn't turn into a sweat fest as you speed up the tempo. The key is breathability. As soon as you invest in higher waterproof ratings for your jackets and trousers you can often sacrifice a fabric's ability to breathe leaving you hot and bothered mid-hike, climb or run and cold and clammy when you stop to rest. Polartec NeoShell is the answer. It is the product of extensive research and development and offers a level of fabric design that's more akin to engineering. In fact Polartec declares NeoShell to be the world's most breathable waterproof fabric.
