When the rain starts pouring down you need good rain gear to keep you dry. Water and windproof but yet breathable Gore-Tex and other ePTFE membranes have long been the number one solution for this job. Beyond Clothing (www.beyondclothing.com) is an American company that has been making high-end cold weather clothes for a long time for outdoor and military purposes. In 2007 Beyond was announced as the official manufacturer of custom PCU cold weather layering system and is now producing all 7 layers of clothing.
