PERTEX® QUANTUM USES A TIGHTLY WOVEN STRUCTURE TO PROVIDE A LIGHT AND SOFT FABRIC THAT ALLOWS INSULATION TO FULLY LOFT.
Precisely constructed from incredibly fine yarns, Pertex® Quantum fabrics are designed to trap still air and improve the efficiency of insulation.
A durable water repellent (DWR) finish sheds light rain and snow to provide additional weather protection.

– Soft to the touch
– Windproof to retain warmth
Our View of Pertex Quantum:
Pertex Quantum is incredibly light and resists abrasion and other forms of abuse very well. Being downproof its a key reason why sleeping bags can be made so light.
In theory it has a light DWR coating to instil water resistance but this fabric is designed to be highly air permeable rather than water resistant, there are oter fabrics for that.
