Howies and Ventile - kidding

Just got this mailing:
It absorbs water, goes stiff, heavy and cold. I've even got their old snowboarding jacket in it and its a nice coat but crap for its intended purpose.
To top it off they got some chap to sit there in trailbuilder-mode wearing something that's about £300.
Do bugger off
Is it just me or is ventile crap as a "hardshell" in the wet?There are lots of words to describe British weather, but ‘predictable’ isn’t one of them.
So it’s a good thing we’ve got Ventile. It’s perfect for our climate. Made with 100% cotton, so tightly woven it protects you from rain, sleet, wind
and snow.
During a shower, the fibres swell and the holes in the weave close up, making it harder for water to get in.
Ventile also breathes really well – unlike other water-resistant fabrics, which can leave you all clammy as soon as the weather cheers up.
Ventile cotton has been around a while too – it was invented in the 1940s, for pilots’ flying suits. It’s really long-lasting stuff, meaning no matter what you throw at it, this jacket should last you for many years. Even if you snag it on something, a needle and thread can easily repair it.
It’s so great, you’ll be looking forward to cold and wet days to show it off.
