The North Face Mens Jammu Jacket with revolutionary PolarTec Neoshell fabric

Christina Bay — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:30:48 +0000

The North Face Jammu Jacket is one of the first few outdoor jackets made with revolutionary PolarTec Neoshell fabric. For decades, Gore-Tex is the benchmark for waterproof, windproof and breathable outdoor gear. But not anymore, it has got competition.

PolarTec Neoshell is a new material said to be even better than Gore-Tex. Neoshell fabric prevents moisture from coming through even when subjected to water force of up to a 10-foot waterfall. But what’s far more impressive is Neoshell membrane’s unprecedented 2-way airflow capability. Warm air escapes through the membrane more easily than any other waterproof materials available today. It does not require your body’s warm air to build up enough pressure to push through the fabric. Moisture and vapor dries faster than ever. PolarTec Neoshell is the best fabric to keep you comfortable and dry, from rain and sweat.

North Face Jammu Jacket was selected for National Geographics and Men’s Journal Gear of the Year 2011 awards.
