Love your videos! Ventile is actually spun loosely and woven tightly, and then when it gets wet it swells up, stopping water from moving through it. Like you said, it’s not perfect, and often it will have a water resistant spray applied, to help out in worse weather.

Let me guess, it’s completely unaffordable?

don’t fall for the ventile hype, it will get soaked like a sponge and then the water will pass through

All Ventile is imgregnated with DWR(durable water repellent) . Historically the same chemicals as goretex. Recently, they developed and are using an unspecified PFC-free treatment.

Could something like hemp or water resistant wool be used to make ventile, hypothetically speaking?

$850 for this is weird for not being waterproof. It’s a beautiful design though.

I like ventile, but its not comparable to modern bonded waterproof fabrics. Its good for a light drizzle.

Goretex is also not truly 100% waterproof in the sense that if you’re out in heavy-enough rain for long enough, it will get waterlogged and allow water droplets to pass through it.

Seems like a similar concept to why burel wool is water resistant

BIG SWEATY MAN :
modern-day Ventile raincoats are treated with DWR (durable water repellent) which is a PFC, a C6-based forever chemical, they don’t tell you that, because pure Ventile is on the lower-end of waterproofing, it’ll protect you from reasonable rain, but it absorbs water, and it will eventually (in hours) absorb into your clothes because that’s how physics works
