One Shell for All Weather

Image of the 'Torrent Flyer Jacket' and the 'DRYTEC Stretch Rain Pants'
The latest rain shell models have high breathability and excellent stretchability: the 'Torrent Flyer Jacket' and the 'DRYTEC Stretch Rain Pants'. These lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-move items are recommended for activities that involve a high level of physical exertion.

Stretch for stress-free movement

The image shows the excellent stretchability of the fabric, with the elbows of the jacket and the knees of the pants bent.
The garments utilize our proprietary waterproof and breathable material, 'DRYTEC,' which offers excellent stretch. Furthermore, we have incorporated articulation in areas requiring a greater range of motion, such as the elbows and knees, allowing the garments to adapt effortlessly to dynamic movements. Additional characteristics include lightweight construction and notable flexibility compared to traditional materials, which enhance comfort.

Waterproof breathable fabric "DRYTEC" with high breathability

Image of 3-Layer DRY-TEC, shutting out rain and wind while allowing Perspiration to escape
Among the waterproof and breathable materials we use at Montbell, this is the material that achieves the best breathability and high water resistance. While protecting against wind and rain from the outside, it efficiently releases excess heat and moisture during activity, keeping the inside of the garment comfortable.
Breathability: 50,000g/m2/24hrs (JIS L-1099B-1 method) (Reference value)

The outer fabric balances high levels of stretch and abrasion resistance

Image of outer fabric made of Ballistic Airlight nylon
The outer fabric uses our proprietary material "Ballistic Airlight", which is extremely lightweight yet boasts excellent abrasion resistance. We have achieved a high level of both stretch and abrasion resistance, typically considered difficult to combine, by carefully examining factors such as fabric density and the method used to adhere the waterproof breathable membrane.

A lining with a smooth, dry feel that doesn't retain moisture

Image of soft and comfortable lining
The lining is made of fabric woven with high-density, specially designed nylon yarns that are highly water-resistant. This results in a supple texture and a crisp, dry feel against the skin.
Eco-Friendly Material
Torrent Flier fabric does not use PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are of concern due to their environmental impact. The lining uses nylon made from 60% plant-based materials. This reduces the use of petroleum-based materials and also helps to lower carbon dioxide emissions.

Features and functions of the Torrent Flier Jacket

The overall image of the jacket shows the corresponding features from A to K. Please see the descriptions below for details on each feature.
The hood can be adjusted in three places: both sides, the back of the head, and the top of the head. In the photo, the model is facing left, and you can see that the hood fits snugly to the face.
The hood is easily adjustable in three places, featuring a proprietary design for an enhanced fit. It follows the movement of your face, ensuring a good field of vision.
Imagine pinching the zipper at the collar and sliding it up and down.
The 'Zip-Adjust System' allows for quick adjustment of the hood's fit by simply sliding the collar zipper up and down.

The 'Alpine Cuff' allows for precise adjustment of the fit around the cuff. It also helps prevent the intrusion of rain and cold air.

The fit of the hem is easily adjusted by simply pulling the draw cords on both sides.
A close-up view of the collar. There is a loop on the inside of the collar of the jacket, and when stored, the hood part becomes like the collar of the jacket.
The hood rolls inward and is secured to the loop on the inside of the collar using the hook-and-loop adjuster on the top of the hood.
The water droplets on the zipper do not seep in through the gaps, maintaining its water-resistant properties.
Zipper that helps keep out water. Since a storm flap isn't necessary on the outer side, it's easy to open and close, contributing to weight reduction as well.
The image shows the inner flap visible after the zipper has been opened. The flap has a lip that prevents water from entering the jacket in the event of flooding.
A folded flap is provided on the inside of the front zipper to prevent any water that might seep through the zipper.

By removing the extra fabric along the seams, we are able to reduce weight and ensure waterproofing with seam tape.
Water droplets are clinging to the seams, but they are not soaking in; the fabric is repelling water, leaving them as droplets.
Every single thread is treated with a water-repellent finish.

      The importance of care and maintenance

      Rainwear maintenance guide, Image of rainwear layered on top of a water-repellent fabric surface.

      "Washing" is essential to maintaining performance over time


      The Torrent Flier's water repellent does not use PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are of concern due to their environmental impact. While the non-PFAS water repellent components have initial performance comparable to PFAS-containing ones, they are less durable due to their lower ability to repel oil. To prevent this, it's important to wash the garment frequently to thoroughly remove contaminants, like dirt. Additionally, applying heat through a dryer or iron helps restore the water repellent treatment to its original state, maintaining water repellency. With proper maintenance, it's possible to balance rainwear performance with reduced environmental impact.
