TECHNOLOGY:

PowerTex: PowerTex is a highly breathable fabric that is waterproof, windproof and durable. Lightweight, soft 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.

4 WAY STRETCH: High elasticity clothing (4 times above average) that adapts to the athlete's movements, and quickly regains its shape.

COMPOSITION:

DuraStretch: DuraStretch fabrics are particularly stretchy. They are light and comfortable whilst also robust and resistant to abrasion. There are bi-stretch and quad-stretch versions. They are breathable and coated with a durable water-repellent (DWR). The majority of DuraStretch fabrics are suited to year-round use as the interior structure quickly wicks moisture.

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. These 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.

Cordura®: A high tech fabric known for its durability, solidity, light weight and easy care. Cordura® is extremely abrasion-resistant (4 times more than standard nylon and 20 times more than cotton). The light, rough surface is typical for this fabric.

CERTIFICATION:

Bluesign® Standard: Environmental program to eliminate substances that are potentially hazardous to human health or the environment from the textile supply chain. A Bluesign® approved fabric ensures that: The fabric itself is free of harmful chemicals Unsafe emissions in water, ground and air are reduced The use of energy resources is controlled and reduced to a minimum The working conditions are healthy and safe

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.
