Description

Ventile® is a natural, all weather, sustainably grown material. In a world of rainwear, Ventile® stands out. It was invented in the late 1930s in Manchester and later adopted by Edmund Hilary and Ranulph Fiennes. Ventile® is our obvious choice to develop a natural fibre, fully-featured alternative to the modern mountain shell.

Highlights

Organic Ventile® fabric

Ventile® is naturally windproof and water resistant. In prolonged rain the cotton fibres absorb water and swell to form an impenetrable rain barrier.

Naturally breathable

The Ranger works with your other layers to allow excess heat and sweat to escape. Put it on and leave it on, whatever the conditions.

Mountain-ready design

Removable mountain hood with a wired peak and three separate adjustors. Cut for hiking and scrambling with articulated arms and a drop hem.

For a life outdoors

Incredibly hardwearing Ventile® can last a lifetime. Or several! It's easy to repair and we've used double-stitched overlapping seams for extra durability.

Designer‘s notes

"Ventile® isn't waterproof, but it's fantastic in changeable conditions, with better rain protection than a softshell. The fabric has such a tight weave that wind and rain droplets from passing showers can't squeeze through. In more prolonged rain, the cotton fibres on the outside swell and absorb water. This closes up tiny gaps in the weave to keep you protected from bad weather for longer."

Sustainability & Care

Environmental impact

GOTS-certified organic cotton

Ventile® is woven in Switzerland using the highest quality organic cotton, certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard. Organic cotton farming produces significantly less CO₂, uses less water and eliminates the use of harmful pesticides. And it feels great!

Recycled materials

The Ranger uses recycled YKK Natulon zips, recycled brass poppers and all the labels are made from recycled polyester.

PFC-free DWR

The Ranger uses a completely PFC-free DWR treatment on its outer fabric. PFCs are potentially harmful and have been found to build up in the environment.

Washing instructions

Temperature: 40°C
Cycle: Gentle
Additional info: Use liquid soap. Do not use fabric conditioners or softeners. Rinse thoroughly and line dry away from direct sunlight.

Care instructions

You can remove most dirt from your Ranger by spot cleaning it. Only wash your jacket when necessary to extend its life.

The Great Outdoors magazine reviews Ranger

Ventile is soft and comfortable and lovely to wear. As Ventile is quite thick and the front and hood are double layer the Ranger is quite warm compared to synthetic windproof fabrics. I’ve worn the Ranger over just a base layer on cool days and been warm enough while moving. The hood fits well and moves with the head.

For overnight trips and year-round hillwalking it’s a good choice. As it’s so protective there’s no need to carry a fully featured waterproof jacket as well.
