Technology

The customer can choose out of a big pool of various shell fabrics. Depending on its purpose the fabric can be individual equipped by a functional finish. There are a number of options such as:

  • T-Core: This specially developed outdoor fabric has multiple layers of a tough hydrophilic polyurethane coating. The pores are hundreds of times larger than water vapour molecules. This allows perspiration, driven by body heat to escape through the garment. In conjunction, the pores are thousands of times smaller than water molecules. This prevents the elements from penetrating the fabric thus providing the active person with a dry comfortable protective garment.
  • T-Core LX: A non-porous, ultra-thin polyurethane membrane which is laminated onto the base material. This membrane makes the material waterproof, windproof and breathable. Water vapour molecules can move unhindered through the special structure of 5u thin membrane but organic and inorganic substances cannot adhere to the fabric. This leads to the high quality of the water and wind proofing and to the breathable property of the material. The T-Core LX membrane is characterized by its 500%elasticity so that material keeps its suppleness even after lamination.
  • PVC coating: waterproof, robust and cheap.
  • The outside of fabrics can be protected by water repellent fittings (e.g. Teflon). It lets roll of water drops and makes it hard for dust and dirt to stick on the exterior layer.
