Polkatex®

Did you know that ever time you wash a water-repellant fabric, you are reducing its effectiveness? Or that the natural oils from your skin and hair can also wreak havoc on your water-repellent apparel? That's why Montbell has taken water-repellent technology a step further with Polkatex, its permanent water-repellent fabric.
Unlike other water-repellent fabrics, Polkatex will retain its ability to keep you dry wear after wear, wash after wash. Here's how it works: Polkatex is treated with a water-based fluorine finish that adheres to the fibers of the fabric, providing excellent water resistance. Polkatex also contains a cushioning agent that "fills in" the molecular bonds, giving them a unique elasticity. This elasticity allows the bonds to rebound from the excess wear and tear that can result from harsh detergents and oils. Water-repellent and abrasion resistant, Polkatex lasts.

Lead-in Cord System (Bottoms)

We put draw cords in the waist pockets to allow you to cinch the hem tight while keeping out the winter chill. The inner cord is protected from the elements and allows custom fit adjustment with one hand.

Chin Guard zip

A chin guard protects your chin and neck from the cold, rough zipper. The soft fleece lining provides additional abrasion-protection and comfort.
