This Waterproof Coat Doesn't Use Gore-Tex (And That's a Good Thing)

I've always been fascinated by the discussion around Gore-Tex effectiveness and the idea of using a membrane in a coat for waterproofness has never sat well with me. As such I've been using an alternative to Gore-Tex for 20 years (I got the fleece in the old photos in the video when I was about 18) that I think is fascinating in the way it works and they are still quite an underdog in the outdoor waterproof coat scene.
