I've owned and own jackets made from Ventile and Grenfell cloth, performance seems to be similar and only useful if in doubled form.
Maybe it's down to the kind of rain experienced in my part of the world (southern Manitoba), but I wouldn't trust it in a remote setting to prevent hypothermia from our heavy downpours.
@Skülly, how have you cleaned your Ventile? It's been a challenge because of the coating?

Ventile seems to surrounded by some sort of mythical powers of waterproof.
But is so rare and expensive I haven't tried it.
Does it actually work?
The jacket is strange in that it's kind not sure what it's trying to do. And in likelihood it's just a casual jacket that's showerproof
