TECHNOLOGY:

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.

3M™ Thinsulate™: These products retain as much heat as possible on a smaller surface area. This technology ensures that the wearer of clothing or footwear can enjoy lightness and freedom of movement even in cold weather, while being kept warm.

Thinsulate uses fabric made from thin synthetic fibres, which store a lot of air and produce heat.

The 3M company is renowned for its numerous innovations, already found in Neil Armstrong's gear.

The special Thinsulate Insulation fibres ensure a high level of comfort as well as efficient breathability and anti-moisture action, even when practising sports that generate a lot of sweat.

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.


CERTIFICATION:

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.
