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 and windproof, 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.

Gore-Tex® Plain 3L: Particularly strong but also soft to the touch, Gore-Tex® Plain 3L is used for protective garments that require excellent abrasion and tear resistance. Its weight offers a good strength-to-lightness ratio.

Water-resistance: 2,000 mm / Breathability: < 9 m²Pa/W

 

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.

 

CERTIFICATION:

 

Low Impact™: Low Impact™ is based on 2 criteria that are essential to eco-design: the use of materials with a low environmental impact (at least 40% of the weight of the product is made from low impact materials such as Ecoya, Sorona®, tencel, hemp, RDS feathers), or certified materials (at least 80% of the product weight must be certified Bluesign®, Oeko-Tex®).

 

Oeko-Tex® Certification: The innovative fibres used are certified by Oeko-Tex®, an internationally recognised control body. This label certifies that the fibres do not contain chemical elements that are harmful to the skin and the individual.

 

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

 

BREATHABILITY INDEX:

 

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 stays 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.

 

FIT:

 

Active Fit™: Fitted throughout the body, slightly tighter at the bottom, making it less bulky and more reliable during activity. This fit is often combined with stretchy materials for added comfort.
