Fabrics are organized from lightest to heaviest:
MEMBRANE 15 is our ultralight 15 denier taffeta polyester. Similar to our MEMBRANE 10 nylon taffeta, MEMBRANE 15 combines breathability, wind/water resistance, and exceptional downproofing with the softest hand feel on the market.
To make MEMBRANE 15, we start with a custom woven, high thread-count polyester base material. In addition to adding durability, this  reduces moisture absorption compared to a nylon base.
Combined with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, the result is  significantly less weight gain and improved comfort (i.e. no clammy feeling) when the fabric is subjected to rain or highly humid environments.Â
All this makes MEMBRANE 15 excel in a variety of applications including quilts, jackets, sleeping bags, garments, pillows, linings, and more.

Our ultralight 15 denier ripstop polyester MEMBRANE 15 Like other fabrics in the MEMBRANE line, M15 RS combines breathability, wind/water resistance, and exceptional downproofing with the  softest hand feel on the market.
To make MEMBRANE 15, we start with a custom woven, high thread-count polyester base material. Then we add a micro grid ripstop for improved abrasion and tear resistance.Â
Combined with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, the result is a durable, ultralight fabric with  significantly less weight gain and improved comfort (i.e. no clammy feeling) when subjected to rain or highly humid conditions.Â
All this makes MEMBRANE 15 ripstop excel in a variety of applications including quilts, jackets, sleeping bags, garments, linings, and more.

The result of over a year of development, testing, and pushing limits, Ventek is our custom designed, high-performance WPB fabric line.
Waterproof/Breathable (aka WPB) fabric is exactly what the name implies - both waterproof AND breathable. To achieve this, WPB fabric uses a specially formulated laminate film that is highly resistant to water droplet penetration (i.e. rain) while also allowing moisture vapor (i.e. sweat) to pass through and escape.
3.3 oz Ventek 30 is a 3-layer WPB fabric designed to balance weight and durability while maintaining performance (waterproofness and breathability) that rivals big names like Gore-Tex and eVent.
Great for a wide range of applications such as jackets, over mittens, gaiters, pants, ponchos, bivy shells, and more.Â
