Keela's ship jacket capable of taking you through the
toughest conditions imaginable. It helped conquer the highest
ains on the planet and is used by ain Rescue Teams,
Forces and expedition teams all around the World.

Keela’s System Dual Protection (SDP) offers unrivalled
protection when it comes to waterproofing and breathability in
any conditions.
WHY? – SDP is a unique double layer fabric system with an “Air
Gap”. The tough/durable outer layer ensures it can handle wear
and tear while a lightweight inner layer offers comfort and
creates the 'Air-Gap' to build up warmth. SDP is 100% waterproof,
breathable, warm and reduces inner condensation to keep the
wearer protected. SDP is used in tough and extreme conditions by
ain Rescue Teams, Forces and users all
around the World and is trusted by its users.
THE SCIENCE Weather conditions affect the breathability of ALL
fabrics and garments. During heavy rain and low temperatures
(around 0C to 10C) breathable, waterproof garments stop breathing
and experience the ‘occurrence of dew point’ or ‘cold-bridging’.
This results in a build-up of condensation. A warm body at 37C
will struggle to cope with these conditions and the wearer
becomes uncomfortable if the moisture and condensation is not
moved away from the body.
SDP uses two layers of fabrics with hydrophilic membranes and an
“Air Gap” in between, to reduce the build-up of condensation. The
operating principle can be compared to double-glazing systems
used for windows, which stops warm air coming into direct contact
with cold air. The “Air-Gap” also acts as an insulator to keep in
body warmth. The best insulator is air!
The two layers of SDP then ensure the garment remains breathable
in cold, wet conditions by a “mechanical” means. The outer layer
is a waterproof, breathable fabric with a hydrophilic laminated
membrane, so does the work to protect from outside conditions.
The inner layer is a revolutionary high wicking liner, laminated
onto a hydrophilic film. This inner layer acts like a sponge,
absorbing any moisture or water vapour inside the jacket and
transporting it away from the body. This acts like a one-way
valve taking moisture and condensation away from the body through
the lining and into the “Air Gap”; the waterproof laminate
ensures the moisture cannot wick back through to the body. It
therefore passes through into the “Air Gap” and escapes either
through the breathable outer layer at its own rate or by force
mechanical ventilation of the “Air Gap” by movement of the
wearer.
