Pertex Quantum Fabric Jacket

Pertex Quantum is a specialized technical fabric used in high-performance outdoor clothing. While Pertex began as a British brand developed by Perseverance Mills Ltd, the manufacturing of the physical fabric now primarily occurs in Japan. The finished jackets that utilize this fabric are manufactured in various locations globally depending on the apparel brand that licenses the technology.

The history of Pertex is rooted in the United Kingdom, specifically in the textile heritage of Lancashire. The brand's development was led by mountaineer Hamish Hamilton and Perseverance Mills. However, following the collapse of the original parent company, the brand was acquired by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Today, Pertex operates as a high-technology textile brand under Japanese ownership, supplying lightweight and durable materials to leading outdoor apparel companies worldwide.
