Montbell’s flagship Storm Cruiser rainwear has adopted new technology for an all new incarnation.

Use of Gore-C knit backer technology improves flexibility compared to past models. Along with drastic weight reduction measures including reducing sewing points, the jacket possesses unprecedented comfort. The jacket is constructed down to the last detail using waterproofing and water repellent processes, including use of adhesive on the hems and adjustable alpine cuffs to prevent water retention, and a seaming technique that improves the waterproof capabilities of the pockets. We have expanded the color options and adopted a streamlined silhouette with no superfluous material. Great for use as a windbreaker and protecting against the cold.

GORE® C-KNIT BACKER TECHNOLOGY

Starting in Spring 2015, the Storm Cruiser Jacket utilizes the new C-Knit Backer technology from Gore-Tex. The waterproof breathable membrane has been laminated to an extremely thin knitted fabric. Compared to traditional the tricot used by Gore-Tex the knitted backer in the C-Knit technology yields a fabric that is 15% more breathable and 10% lighter. The most noticeable improvement is the feel of the fabric. The first time you wear the jacket you will be struck by the soft hand and slight stretch of the fabric, which eliminates of crinkling and rustling normally associate with rain wear.

About the material: Ballistic nylon

Ballistic nylon is one and a half times more abrasion resistant than other similar weight fabrics and boasts three times the tear strength of nylons that are almost 20% heavier. Because of this, Ballistic nylons have allowed us to reduce the weight of many of our products by more than 50% without sacrificing the durability. We create Ballistic nylons by heating and stretching nylon fibers. Much like Tensiled steel, this process aligns the nylon molecules in each fiber, dramatically improving the strength and stamina of the fabric.

Material Information (code: 38-127)

Since this product is designed to be as lightweight and compact as possible, it is made using very lightweight materials. When the fabric is stressed, it is possible for the GORE-TEX Membrane to darken the appearance of the outer fabric. However, this has no effect on the GORE-TEX Membrane's waterproof performance.
