The Ventile® Frobisher

Engineered to endure the most harsh winter conditions. 100% waterproof and virtually indestructible. A tip of the hat to wily 16th century Yorkshire explorer, Sir Martin Frobisher, who combatted the fiercest conditions in his attempts to discover new trade routes through the Northwest Passage.
