These garments keep your body warm, while preventing sweat build-up, keeping you comfortable during physical activities and warm during recovery. Gore-Tex® Pro garments have a 3-layer construction design to meet the many needs of outdoor sports lovers. These premium materials ensure optimal abrasion and tear resistance as well as protection from extreme weather conditions.

 

COMPOSITION:

 

Kevlar®: Best known for its use in resistant armour, Kevlar® is an aramid fibre developed by DuPont™. It is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of aromatic rings which are separated by the amide groups. It is also used in various garments, accessories and equipment to enhance safety and abrasion resistance. It is light, durable and resistant.

This is a synthetic fibre which has excellent tensile properties and a high tensile strength. The toughness of Kevlar comes from its structure of hydrogen bonds held together between polymer chains.

 

Advantages:

  • Good traction resistance
  • Low density (1.45)
  • Zero thermal expansion
  • Vibration absorption and cushioning
  • Excellent shock and wear resistance
  • Good chemical behaviour
