TECHNOLOGY:

 

GORE-TEX®: The Gore-Tex® membrane is a very thin layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) with a laminated outer fabric and is often lined. It is waterproof (28,000 mm) and windproof (RET between 6 and 13), as well as permeable to water vapour. The result is that water from the outside does not penetrate the garment, the cold wind does not get through and perspiration is easily released.

 

SoftShell: made from soft laminated materials, all garments that use Softshell technology represent a new generation of products. With its numerous properties, Softshell technology helps us to face all the weather conditions that nature throws at us. This technology makes the product highly windproof, waterproof, flexible and abrasion-resistant.

 

Mix & Match: This system offers the option to choose the insulation liner for your jacket using an identical zip fastener system. Therefore allowing you to add comfort and style to your protective jacket as needed.

 

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.

 

Teflon® EcoElite™: In the interests of being more environmentally friendly, this technology uses 60% renewable sources and is PFC-free (perfluorocarbon). The finish allows water to slide off the fabric, leaving the garment dry, even in very damp climates.

 

BREATHABILITY:

 

RET Breathability Index: Breathability determines the ability a fabric has for moisture wicking, it is measured in Thermal Evaporative Resistance (RET).

  • RET < 6: extremely breathable fabric. Fabric that is comfortable during intense exercise.
  • RET < 12: very breathable fabric. Fabric that is comfortable to wear during moderate exercise.
  • RET < 20: medium breathable fabric. Fabric that is uncomfortable to wear during intense exercise.
  • RET > 20: not very breathable fabric. Fabric that is uncomfortable to wear during moderate exercise.
