Our 2.5-layer Barricade™ technology works by bonding the water repellent face fabric and the waterproof-breathable membrane together. A print is applied to the inside face of the fabric to protect the waterproof membrane, and this time we’ve introduced a new P4Dry™ printing technology.
Sustainably created from used coffee grounds, P4Dry™ provides excellent moisture management properties by quickly transferring moisture to the surface of the bonded fabric to be released into the air. This results in a drier feeling that removes that clammy sensation you can sometimes get with waterproof shells, as well as improving odour control.
I've no idea how effective this is because I haven't tried it, but used coffee grounds? Imaginative maybe, but the suspicion remains that middle class folk will buy anything if a bit of virtue-signalling is woven in.

Thirty years ago, if it contained coffee grounds then they would have used some long chemical formula to disguise the fact.
I'm still waiting to see a use for all the yogurt pots I've recycled over the years. They must be in a big pile somewhere.
You must have seen this as an ad in the Grauniad, like those on the side Raedwald's site!
I haven't had any coffee for about five years after getting one at Notcutts GC, and feeling decidedly ill for days afterwards!
I'd actually like to get back on to the occasional one, but at my age, caffeine is probably best disguised as Yorkshire Gold!
Sounds a bit like Gore Tex.
My neighbour has had 2 packs of coffee grounds stacked on the wall outside for a few weeks. It seems he has bought them to "improve" his soil. A glance at some gardening books suggests it might have a contrary effect. Versatile stuff, coffee grounds, he said quizzically
Sam - we recycle loads of yogurt pots too. One day I may try to calculate what size the pile would be.
Scrobs - I have to admit that we saw it in a promotional email. We get them because we sometimes buy their clothing when on special offer.
James - which seems to be everywhere these days.
Graeme - I once tried burning coffee logs in the wood burner. They were made from used coffee grounds and burned quite well but were too expensive to take seriously.
