COMPOSITION:

 

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.

 

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

 

FIT:

 

Performance: Worn over other layers of clothing. Slightly larger fit. This allows for perfectly combining different layers couches as well as increased breathability and heat retention - which increases overall comfort.

 

RANGE:

 

SIBU: Clothing range that protects you from hot and humid to hot and dry mountain conditions. New fabric developments and revolutionary manufacturing techniques will keep you dry from the outside and create a comfortable microclimate while ventilating. This reduces the risk of dehydration and avoids overheating on the mountains.
