Ventile Fabric Guide
High-Performance Ventile Fabric
Ventile fabric is one of the world's most respected high-performance cotton fabrics, combining excellent weather protection with outstanding breathability. Known for its durability, comfort and distinctive natural appearance, Ventile is a popular choice for outdoor clothing, jackets, countrywear and premium outdoor products.
At Point North Profabrics, we stock a range of Ventile fabrics for UK customers looking for a high-quality material suited to demanding outdoor environments. Our collection includes different weights and options for a variety of clothing and outdoor projects.
Importantly, all Ventile products stocked by Point North Profabrics are PFC free, offering high-performance fabric without the use of PFC-based finishes.
What Is Ventile Cotton?
Ventile cotton is produced using high-quality cotton fibres woven extremely tightly to create a naturally weather-resistant fabric. When exposed to moisture, the cotton fibres swell, helping to close the small gaps within the weave and provide increased protection against the elements.
Unlike many synthetic waterproof materials, Ventile offers excellent breathability while providing protection against wind and rain. Its combination of natural fibres and technical performance makes it particularly appealing for garments where comfort, breathability and weather resistance are all important.
Ventile Fabric for Outdoor Clothing
Ventile's durability and comfortable feel make it suitable for a wide variety of outdoor and clothing applications.
Popular uses include:

- Countrywear

Different fabric weights allow you to select a Ventile material suited to the requirements of your project, from lighter outerwear through to more substantial garments and outdoor products.
PFC-Free Ventile Fabrics
All Ventile fabrics available from Point North Profabrics are PFC free. This is an important consideration for customers looking for technical outdoor fabrics that provide excellent performance without relying on PFC-based finishes.
Ventile's tightly woven cotton construction provides many of its performance characteristics through the structure of the fabric itself, creating a distinctive alternative to conventional synthetic waterproof materials.
