Polartec NeoShell revolutionized 'waterproof'/breathable fabrics by creating a fabric that allows for the continuous release of heat and moisture vapor. The constant air exchange between the inside and outside of the garment keeps the wearer more comfortable while being protected from the elements. Unlike other waterproof/breathable, NeoShell does not require a build up of pressure inside the garment before the moisture vapor moves across the polyurethane membrane.
To be considered a NeoShell waterproof breathable fabric, the material must achieve a 10,000mm water column measurement.
This NeoShell fabric does not have a backing fabric, instead having an exposed membrane on the backside. It is meant to be used with a lining material or Alpha Direct insulation.
