Waterproof Outdoor Gear

When it comes to mountain adventures, waterproof outdoor gear isn’t just an option – it’s a necessity. At Elevenate, we believe your gear should work as hard as you do, keeping you dry, comfortable, and ready for every turn, climb, and descent. Our Elevenate Performance Standard (EPS) ensures our products meet the demands of pro skiers, mountain lovers, and adventurers like you.

The Science of Staying Dry: Why Waterproof Matters

Whether you’re carving through powder or hiking in a misty alpine meadow, staying dry is key to performance and safety. Waterproof gear doesn’t just keep water out – it actively works to manage moisture inside and out. Elevenate’s EPS-certified materials ensure that your gear does more than protect you from the elements; it becomes a trusted companion on your mountain journeys.

The secret? A balance of waterproofness, windproofness, and breathability. This trifecta ensures that your body stays warm and dry without overheating or being weighed down by wet fabrics.

Waterproof Ratings: What Do They Mean?

Waterproof gear is rated in millimeters (mm) – a measure of how much water pressure fabric can withstand before it leaks. At Elevenate, our EPS-certified gear is tested to perform in the most extreme conditions:

• Three-layer laminates: Waterproof to 20,000 mm.
• Two-layer fabrics: Waterproof to 10,000 mm.

This level of protection is built to handle anything from light rain to heavy, wet snowfalls, ensuring you stay dry through it all.

Breathability: The Unsung Hero of Waterproof Gear

Breathability is what makes the magic happen. Imagine pushing hard on a steep ascent or hitting the backcountry in variable weather – your body generates heat, and that heat produces sweat. Without breathable gear, moisture builds up inside, leaving you damp and uncomfortable.

EPS fabrics excel at releasing that internal moisture, with breathability ratings of at least 15,000 g/m²/24h for three-layer laminates and 10,000 g/m²/24h for two-layer fabrics. This keeps you feeling fresh and focused, even when conditions are anything but.

Windproof: The Final Line of Defense

Cold mountain winds are relentless, but they don’t stand a chance against EPS-certified gear. Our fabrics deliver 100% windproof protection, shielding you from biting gusts so you can stay warm and maintain your edge, whether on a summit push or during après-ski.

Elevenate’s Waterproofing

At Elevenate, we go beyond industry standards with a hands-on approach to product development. Every piece is tested in the field by pros and adventurers who push gear to its limits in real-world conditions. Our innovative PFC-free DWR finishes ensure that our fabrics repel rain and snow while being environmentally conscious. With fully taped or critically taped seams for maximum protection, EPS gear ensures that you can focus on the adventure, not the weather.
