BlocVent®

What is BlocVent^®

BlocVent^® refers to a range of advanced laminate fabrics featuring a non-porous hydrophilic membrane originally developed by the Japanese company Toyota. The Czech outdoor brand High Point continues to refine and innovate these materials, tailoring them to meet the needs of demanding outdoor users.

Key Features and Benefits

BlocVent^® fabrics offer an outstanding combination of waterproofness, wind resistance, and breathability. The non-porous membrane efficiently wicks moisture away from the body while shielding against rain, wind, and cold. All materials are finished with a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating, are easy to care for, and environmentally responsible. Thanks to their elasticity, they maintain performance even under long-term stress and wear.

BlocVent^® Variants

• BlocVent – a basic two-layer construction offering a well-balanced ratio of performance and price, featuring a mesh lining on the inside.
• BlocVent Super Light – a lightweight version designed to minimize overall weight.
• BlocVent PRO Super Light – an ultra-light, highly breathable variant for performance-focused use.
