The brand has been going since the 1970's in Europe. The clothing is hand made in Sheffield, UK - Near the land of 100's of good short, powerhouse climbing routes along 'Stanage Edge' Derbyshire. No sweatshop production.

A bit of info about Pertex®...
Pertex disperses moisture very rapidly along its fibres by using a myriad of capillaries in order to speed up the rate of evaporation. Highly windproof, highly breathable and highly water repellent. Pertex 6 is abrasion resistant which will reduce the wear and tear of the shirt whilst being rubbed against rock!

I purchased mine through the US distributor NWAdventureTrading.com for $200. Saving on shipping and no exchange rates hassles to deal with. There are other items of clothing available in the range, suitable for runners, skiers, canoeists and trail hikers.

It's cool for the planet that the catalogue can be downloaded, saving paper.

Has anyone else heard of the brand or tried out any of their other products?
