Eddie Bauer Chooses eVent for First Ascent Collection

eVent fabrics announced that Eddie Bauer is the newest partner to feature eVent’s patented air permeable and waterproof fabrics technology. Ten styles from Eddie Bauer’s First Ascent line for this fall and the upcoming holiday season include eVent waterproof technology in jackets, pants and bibs for climbing, skiing and all mountain sports. The line offers styles for both men and women.

The new Eddie Bauer products feature eVent DValpine technology, which is eVent’s versatile waterproof solution that balances all-weather protection with high breathability for a broad range of activities. At the heart of DValpine technology is eVent’s patented ePTFE Direct Venting membrane, which has an air permeable, microporous structure that allows body heat and moisture to instantly vent from the garment.

“What sets eVent apart is its instant venting capability,” said Chad Kelly, Director of Sales and Product Line for eVent fabrics. “Eddie Bauer’s team of world-class guides and athletes put our technology to the test and experienced its best-in-class breathability firsthand. We are pleased to invite Eddie Bauer customers to experience the eVent performance difference this winter.”

The men’s and women’s BC DuraWeave Alpine Jacket and Pant is constructed for ultimate breathability, durability and enhanced weather protection in wet and harsh alpine environments that Eddie Bauer’s guides typically encounter. This kit integrates Cordura-reinforced DuraWeave fabric for rugged protection of high-abrasion areas such as the seat and knees. WeatherEdge Flux with eVent technology fends off weather while providing exceptional breathability. The fit is designed for activities that require the full range of motion and layering for comfort. Essential features include generous, pack-compatible pockets, weather resistant zippers, pit zips and an adjustable hood with embedded cordlocks. MSRPs: Jacket US $599/CAD $699 and Pant US $499/CAD $599. Available Winter 2017.
