The Full Story
The Aran Cap has been made using our 2-Layer Barricade Standard, this means that its waterproof, windproof, yet still breathable. The 2-Layer Barricade Standard is made up of an outer waterproof membrane and a brushed micro fleece lining. The lining protects the membrane but also keeps your head soft, warm and comfortable, keeping the elements at bay when you’re out climbing hills on a wet day.
In addition to the 2-Layer Barricade Standard, a Durable Water Repellency finish has been added so that rain beads up and rolls off the stiffened peak, keeping your head and the fabric dry. Ear flaps have been added to shield your ears and neck from the weather and a removable and adjustable chin strap is accessible to keep the hat secured and in place in high winds.

Our DWR finish is an advanced treatment which dramatically increases the water repellency of our fabrics. On its own, it offers a useful level of shower resistance; used in conjunction with our Barricade technology, it reduces the tendency of the face fabric to wet out and maximizes breathability.

The Barricade standard gives you reassurance of a high level of waterproof protection. All of our waterproofs must meet our Barricade Standard to be ten times the British standard for waterproofing.
The waterproof fabric of the garment has two layers. The water-repellent outer fabric and the PU hydrophilic membrane are bonded together. In addition, a loose lining protects the membrane from the inside.
