Stylish and practical new outdoors jackets from Country Innovation about to hit the shops after a 2 year wait

28 January 2021

Somerset based outdoors clothing specialist, Country Innovation are masters of their art. For 25 years, the brand has poured its heart and soul into design and development of clothing products for people who enjoy the great outdoors and have created specialist jackets for birders and wildlife watchers/photographers. 

They use technical fabrics such as Ventile and have more than one eye on the details. Ventile is a 100% cotton fabric, which was originally developed during World War II for fighter pilot suits due to its unique ability to repel wind and rain, yet at the same time being highly breathable and comfortable to wear. It is the world’s most effective, natural, all-weather cotton fabric that is grown sustainably, and is the best choice for durability, reliability and all-round performance. Being a natural fabric it becomes even softer and more comfortable as time goes by, making it a truly faithful friend.
