Escape Outdoors Clothing

People shouldn't expose their cats or dogs to the heat for extended periods because they could be at risk of heat stroke, according to the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Most of us now use what are called breathable' waterproof jackets, and like our skin they allow moisture to escape but prevent moisture from penetrating to the inside! Similarly, a waterproof jacket needs a little TLC on a regular basis to get the best out of it. If you notice that your jacket appears to be absorbing water rather than repelling it then it is time to act, and avoid an uncomfortable day out with a jacket that does not breathe.

Standing for eXtended Comfort Range, XCR is the new product from Gore-Tex, which by using new membrane technology and new lamination techniques offers 25% more breathability than classic Gore-Tex garments. Designed for mountaineers, backpackers, snowboarders, backcountry skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts who value performance and demand the most from their gear. Available in both two and three layer construction.
