We just received word that we have another sponsor for our Rainier climb this Summer: Cocona Fabrics. I was introduced to them at the SIA Snow Show in Denver this year. They have new fabrics that use activated carbon made from coconut shells. They claim that these fabrics are 20% more breathable than the competition. I have an eVent jacket so I know what to compare this stuff too. We'll see if it breathes as well well as their claims. The activated carbon from the husks is supposed to repel odors as well. That would be amazing if it really works, because even after a short day hike or overnighter I smell pretty ripe. We'll keep you posted. When we get the jackets and baselayers, we'll post some pics and videos to show you all how it's working. Click here to check out Cocona's site.
