FAQ
What is Ventile fabric?
Ventile is a densely woven, 100% cotton fabric developed in Britain during WWII for RAF pilots. Rather than relying on a synthetic membrane or coating, its cotton fibers swell when wet, tightening the weave and increasing water resistance while the fabric stays breathable.
Is Ventile actually waterproof?
It's water-resistant rather than fully waterproof; it holds up well in wind and light-to-moderate rain, and its resistance improves as the fibers swell with moisture. It will need occasional reproofing to maintain that performance over time.
