Product Information

The cut is traditional, super roomy and with a sort of bat-wing sleeve arrangement that doesn't stop the cuffs pulling up as soon as you reach forward or up - Photo: Lukasz Warzecha (lwimages.co.uk)

It is an entirely natural product that offers a unique level of comfort, look and feel as well as being windproof, highly breathable, very durable and quiet.Lyme disease is the most commonly reported insect borne illness in the United States, and has now become one of the fastest growing epidemics to date, while Malaria is responsible for approximately one million deaths worldwide. Because its individual fibres are water repellent, Primaloft retains much of its ability to keep you warm, even when moisture has soaked through. The active ingredient in Insect Shield, permethrin, is so tightly bonded to the fabric fibers that it retains effective repellency through the expected life of the product.

Primaloft insulation is soft and supple like down, making it an excellent choice for active outerwear. Cuff adjusters are classic Velcro tabs and work fine. We found the sleeves tended to pull up though - Photo: Lukasz Warzecha (lwimages.co.uk) Ventile® fabrics are used in some of the world’s finest outerwear performance garments and have military, medical and workwear applications. What’s more, they look great! A combination of materials brought together in one performance system. The outer woven stretch component is treated with a highly durable water repellent finish and then bonded to a hydrophilic membrane. Outdoors Magic: Feature rich, protective feel, okay breathability, warm and with a reasonable hood.PrimaLoft is incredibly soft, lightweight and breathable with excellent water repellency so you remain dry, warm and comfortable, even under the most extreme conditions. AirXtream has a high percentage of stretch for added comfort while still retaining its durability. Its weatherproofing means it can be used for longer on its own when the weather turns bad and acts as the perfect mid layer in colder conditions, reducing bulk while still helping to retain insulation. Insect Shield’s long-lasting clothing treatment — proven to last through 70 washings on apparel and 25 washings on gear — is a vital solution for people living in harm’s way. The idea is that in cold, damp conditions, moisture from your body passes through the inner liner, then condenses on the inside of the colder outer layer of fabric. Once it’s done that, it falls down and exists through a mesh layer at the bottom of the liner.

Ounce for ounce as warm as down, Primaloft microfibres are similar in size and shape to down, resulting in nearly equal insulating performance when dry and even better when wet. In an era of third-party manufacturing, we also aim to provide our garments in an ethical and sustainable manner; as one of the few true manufacturers left in the outdoors world. Working to Extremes Originally designed in the UK, Ventile® is densely woven from 100% cotton using the world’s finest long staple fibre.

We appreciate the challenges of the current situation with COVID-19, but we remain fully operational for all orders and enquiries.

Ventile® is not coated or laminated yet the combination of the dense weave and the swelling properties of the fibres when wet provide excellent weatherproofing. Keela’s ADS garments are perfect for use worn individually in warm weather or as a base layer in conjunction with a layering system in colder environments.

Think about your car windscreen on a cold day… fogging up due to the temperature difference between the inside and the outside here force ventilation is needed to clear the moisture. Keela was founded on the East Coast of Scotland, the perfect place to innovate and test outdoor garments for the changeable British weather. With our HQ located in Glenrothes, we continue to provide UK-led garment designs. The Keela Way Our links within the industry have meant that Keela has been able to remain competitive, designing innovative garments using high-quality materials.Ventile® fabrics for RAF clothing went into mass production in 1943 and the military association still remains today. Garment designs have changed over the years but you will still find Ventile® suits in modern Tornado jets with the RAF and other NATO airforces. It’s this dedication that has led to us supplying a range of Emergency Services over the years, from Police to Military, Fire Services to Mountain Rescue Teams. A Good Influence Similar to the structure of down with incredible softness, Primaloft is highly compressible and easy to stuff. SDP was originally developed for use in Military applications, and has gone on to be used by Tactical Forces, Mountain Rescue and Emergency Services requiring performance clothing that works as hard as they do. Every day, millions of people are exposed to insects that can carry malaria, Dengue fever, trypanosomiasis, fi lariasis, leishmaniasis, and other dangerous diseases.
