Burke Marine Breathables are the next revolution in protective marine clothing, where comfort and durability are paramount. The team at Burke have developed two breathables which are used throughout the Burke Breathable range. The face side of these fabrics has been treated with a water repellent finish that allows water to bead and run off. This reduces the wet weight and increases the warmth of the garment when wet.

PB20 Performance
Breathable can take the kind of beating Bass Strait
throws at you. Its solid non porous membrane laminated
between two layers of fabric is 100% waterproof
yet it allows 1200g/m of perspiration vapour to
escape through the membrane's polymer molecules
every 24 hours - no matter what the conditions.
As the body's temperature increases inside the
garment, the molecules in this "smart" fabric
move more rapidly, increasing the size of the
intermolecular spaces and facilitating the transfer
of perspiration to the outside. In addition, because
it is hydrophilic ("water loving") like cotton
and wool, the membrane actually helps to move
perspiration from the body to the outside, which increases
comfort.
PB20 is designed
to offer very high levels of comfort, durability
and mobility.

CB10 is designed
for coastal/harbour boating. CB10 is waterproof
and breathable - it uses micro porous coating
technology applied to the inside face of durable
nylon fabric. Perspiration is transferred through
the CB10 micro porous coating making it many times
more comfortable than traditional wet weather
gear.
