COMPOSITION:
PowerTex: PowerTex is a highly breathable fabric that is waterproof, windproof and durable. Soft, light and comfortable, it is easy to wear and has a good quality-to-price ratio. During aerobic activities, the PowerTex membrane absorbs and wicks moisture generated by the body by spreading it across the fabric surface, to reduce internal condensation and accelerate evaporation. It prevents water from penetrating and keeps the body comfortably warm and dry. PowerTex fabrics come in 2/2.5/3 thickness.
DWR: This coating allows water to form beads and run off the shell fabric instead of being absorbed. The water-repellent outer fabric increases insulation and prevents it from being saturated by liquids, preventing any feeling of dampness.
Ripstop: This synthetic fabric, often made from nylon or polyester, uses a special reinforcing technique that makes it tear and abrasion-resistant. During the weaving process, reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals into the hatched pattern. The intervals are generally 5 to 8 millimetres. Ripstop fabric is thin and lightweight with thicker threads interwoven into thinner cloth for a 3-dimensional structure.

PFC Free: PFCs belong to a group of chemical compounds that are used in a number of outdoor products for waterproofing the outer material. Their use has received a lot of criticism, as they are considered non-biodegradable. They build up in the body and are suspected to be harmful to health. PFC-free products are environmentally friendly. |
