Breeze Dry-Tec is an innovative Montbell waterproof/breathable material, and one of the only air-permeable waterproof fabrics available today. Montbell was able to manipulate the size and consistency of the pores, eliminating the non-porous coating and drastically increase the ventilation of the material. In fact, tests indicate that Breeze Dry-Tec is more than twice as breathable as many of its competitors while maintaining a high level of weatherproofing.
