Gelanots®

Our true test of Gelanots® began in June 2000 when two intrepid walkers started a honeymoon adventure with a difference, a 319 day walk from Northern Sweden to Southern Spain. Both were armed with bright yellow prototype Gelanots® rain suits using new super-light ripstop Gelanots® .

These garments became daily attire as they battled gale force winds and teeming rain, not to mention the worst floods since 1947. The fact that they resembled two comical bananas was of little concern, for they were dry, warm and comfortable.

Gelanots® is our new, high tech, waterproof breathable fabric. It breathes via a molecular transfer of moisture through a non microporous hydrophilic membrane.

Gelanots® is light and has an extremely soft handle for a laminated three layer (mesh backed) fabric. The outer surface of the fabric has a durable, water repellent finish to enhance breathability, repel stains, and prevent the outer surface of the fabric waterlogging.

Gelanots® performed beyond all expectations during our honeymooner’s 7,300km odyssey and has now become our premium high performance back packing fabric.

Gelanots® is available in two weights:

1/ 125gram/m² nylon
2/ 160gram/m² ripstop nylon

All our Gelanots® jackets have watertight double flaps over the front zip, seams guaranteed to a 3PSI pressure test and fabric lined external pockets that prevent water coming in contact with the wearer. No compromise is made in the assembling of these garments to obtain a complete watertight construction.
