The only down side to this wonder material is its price.
There's only 2 mills that can produce the fabric one is here in uk and the other is Switzerland.
Time to send production to far east I think.
Anyone know about epic cotton? I think howies have used it.

Had some Alpkit jeans made from it, which were nice but more for the cut than the fabric. As I remember the fabric is impregnated (with silicon?) which made it water resistant, but this wore off fairly rapidly on washing to ~normal levels. Was perhaps slightly better long term than standard denim and was reasonable at not getting stained.
Not the same as Ventile, which I believe is like a soft duck cotton and get's its properties from a dense weave that swells when wet becoming ~waterproof.
Outdry is the material I would be interested in seeing more jackets/items made out of.
