Membrane specialist eVent fabrics has welcomed OS2O to the group of brands that use eVent’s patented air permeable and waterproof membrane technology and fabrics. 

OS2O, a Spain based outdoor and mountain clothing brand, reaches its customers in Spain through five retail stores and its online shop, specializing in apparel for mountaineers, trail runners and trekkers.

“We’re excited to welcome OS2O,” said Chad Kelly, Global Product Manager for eVent fabrics.   “OS2O will bring our technical performance story directly to Spanish consumers and help convey the benefits of eVent. We expect that Spanish climbers and mountain enthusiasts will feel and appreciate eVent’s air permeable difference.”

New waterproof jacket

OS2O’s new Breathout Waterproof Jacket is now available in OS2O stores and online. The 300-gram jacket uses eVent’s DValpine waterproof and air permeable membrane, configured in a light 3-layer laminate. 

The fabric has a waterproof column rating greater or equal to 20,000mm and a moisture vapour transport rating (MVTR) of no less than 28,500g/m². The Breathout Waterproof Jacket features an ergonomic fit, YKK AquaGuard zippers, a helmet compatible hood, reflective logos and a one-hand hem adjustment system.

Breathability

OS2O’s team believes breathability is key to staying comfortable while active in mountain conditions. "eVent fabric has been very surprising to me,” said OS2O Trail Team athlete Pere Rullan, who was one of the athletes who tested eVent. 

Rullan, who took a third place at the 2015 European Skyrunning Championships and is the Spanish Trail Running Champion, found that the Breathout’s “breathability is so high that I can wear it while running without feeling wet and uncomfortable.”

eVent membrane technology

Since 1999, eVent fabrics has been specialising in air permeable and waterproof membranes in textiles. The technology used to create eVent membranes was invented in the 1990s to improve the pollutant-capturing performance of air filtration systems and give superior protection to industrial machinery.

eVent fabrics—found in outdoor, winter sports, cycling and professional apparel and footwear—were the first air permeable and waterproof performance fabrics on the market that let the sweat out through Direct Venting technology.
