How durable is G1000?
Since 1968. Since we launched G-1000 in 1968, we’ve developed a range of different versions. They’re all hardwearing, ventilating, wind-resistant and offer protection from UV rays. By adding Greenland Wax they become water-resistant too and even more wind-resistant and durable. Our original G-1000 material, created in 1968, has been a firm favourite with outdoor lovers for years. It’s strong but light, ventilating but resistant to unpredictable weather. It offers UV protection – essential for long days in nature – and it’s mosquito proof too, so great for lazy summer evenings by the campfire.
