Similar to the structure of down with incredible softness, Primaloft is highly compressible and easy to stuff. Its specially structured star yarn rapidly removes moisture away from the body, dispersing it over a large area for fast evaporation into the outside atmosphere, keeping you drier for longer. Insect Shield’s long-lasting clothing treatment — proven to last through 70 washings on apparel and 25 washings on gear — is a vital solution for people living in harm’s way. Our links within the industry have meant that Keela has been able to remain competitive, designing innovative garments using high-quality materials.

In recognition of SDP’s success, Keela was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation, one of the UK’s most prestigious awards, which recognizes outstanding achievement in the categories of international trade, innovation and sustainable development. Keela are grateful for the recognition of their innovations and continue to further develop System Dual Protection to ensure our customers know they can face the elements with confidence and in comfort.In an era of third-party manufacturing, we also aim to provide our garments in an ethical and sustainable manner; as one of the few true manufacturers left in the outdoors world. Working to Extremes Constructed from our ADS star yarn fabric with an added layer of thin fleece on the inside, ADS Thermal is excellent at heat generation without the bulk of a fleece yet is highly breathable. Pit-zips sit under a double storm-flap making them slightly awkward to use - Photo: Lukasz Warzecha (lwimages.co.uk) It is an entirely natural product that offers a unique level of comfort, look and feel as well as being windproof, highly breathable, very durable and quiet.

Ventile® fabrics for RAF clothing went into mass production in 1943 and the military association still remains today. Garment designs have changed over the years but you will still find Ventile® suits in modern Tornado jets with the RAF and other NATO airforces. Primaloft insulation is soft and supple like down, making it an excellent choice for active outerwear. Main zip gets a 'belt and braces' double storm flap. There's also an adjustable waist cord - Photo: Lukasz Warzecha (lwimages.co.uk) At Keela we put the emphasis on garments that perform in the most extreme conditions of their intended environment. This means we don’t just lab test our garments in simulated environments; we put them out on the hills and ensure they provide the ultimate protection.

Originally designed in the UK, Ventile® is densely woven from 100% cotton using the world’s finest long staple fibre.

The latter make the vents slightly awkward to use compared to a simple water-resistant zip version and create noticeable extra bulk under the bat-wing upper arms. Keela’s ADS garments are perfect for use worn individually in warm weather or as a base layer in conjunction with a layering system in colder environments. Ventile® fabrics are used in some of the world’s finest outerwear performance garments and have military, medical and workwear applications. What’s more, they look great!
