Vollebak’s most waterproof coat built for new weather categories
UK outdoor brand Vollebak has used an aerogel insulation to create its warmest, most waterproof coat in response to what it sees as “new categories of weather” caused by global warming
It said: “With extreme weather events on the rise for the last 40 years, and floods and fires sweeping across cities and states, waterproof is not enough. The megastorms are coming.
“So we’ve started working on clothing designed for a world of ultraviolent weather – a world where the sky starts acting more like the ocean, and atmospheric rivers dump tidal waves of water down on towns, cities and villages.”
The Waterfallproof Puffer is waterproof to over 40,000mm, water can’t stick to the outside. It comes with a watertight chest pocket inspired by scuba diving gear, and the insulation is keeps customers warm down to -40°C.
