Ventile is a high-quality woven cotton fabric first developed during the Second World War for use in pilots' immersion suits. Ventile has developed a reputation as both waterproof and windproof. It is popular with birdwatchers and naturalists because ventile, unlike synthetic fabrics such as Gore-Tex, produces almost no noise when in use.
