{"product_id":"parka-impermeable-homme-coton-ventile","title":"Waterproof Parka for Men, Ventile® Cotton","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe waterproof parka, without a membrane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis men's waterproof parka owes its weather protection to a single thing: the way its cotton is woven. No membrane, no plastic film glued inside. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ventile.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eVentile®\u003c\/a\u003e was developed in England during the Second World War for Royal Air Force pilots, who needed a cloth that was both waterproof and breathable. After the war, polar explorers adopted it for exactly that breathability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA cotton that closes up in the rain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is made of extra-long-staple cotton fibres, combed and then woven at extreme density. On contact with water, the fibres swell: the gaps in the weave close and the water stays out. Once dry, the cloth opens again and lets body vapour escape. That is what separates it from a membrane jacket, which keeps you dry from the outside but traps sweat as soon as you walk fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's be honest about its limits: it resists steady, prolonged rain, but in a downpour lasting several hours a membrane is still more waterproof. Ventile® trades a little waterproofing for a lot of breathability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA canvas that ages instead of breaking down\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA membrane eventually delaminates. Ventile® cotton softens with the years. Inside, a Rightemp® thermal canvas lining, a polyester and polyamide blend, keeps body heat without adding bulk. Two welt pockets on the front. It closes with genuine horn buttons rather than plastic, on a piece made to last. The parka is made entirely in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted military cut, with a hood and a mid-thigh length. Sizes S to XL. Take your usual size, or one size up if you want to layer a thick knit underneath.
