Pertex Shield Pro
Pertex® Shield fabrics are durable, waterproof and highly breathable. They have been developed to provide lightweight and versatile protection from the elements.
PERTEX® SHIELD PRO HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HIGHLY BREATHABLE PROTECTION FOR EXTENDED USE IN EXTREME CONDITIONS.
Shield Pro uses a microporous membrane that has been engineered with a very high number of evenly spaced and interconnected pores. These pores allow any moisture vapour generated to pass though the fabric, minimising any sweat build up and keeping you comfortable for longer.
This highly breathable performance combined with a durably waterproof 3-layer construction means Pertex® Shield fabrics are perfectly suited to long days in testing conditions.
– Waterproof and windproof
– Tough and durable construction
– Prolonged protection from the elements
Our View on Pertex Shield Pro:
Pertex Shield Pro is manufactured with durability in mind, both of the fabric itelf and also of its ability to keep water out. Jackets can still be lightweight and are really suited to multi-day backpacking trips etc.. where the user will be carrying a rucksack for an extended period.
