Xpore Mechanical Stretch Ripstop

At the heart of this technology is a layer of unique ultra-thin membrane with 10 billion nanopores on every square inch. Which are no ordinary nanopores, they’re 20,000 times smaller than water droplets, so they perfectly block rain and wind, but are large enough for perspiration vapour and air to pass through. These nanopores truly breathe to keep you dry and comfortable, enhancing endurance when you’re on the move. XPORE membrane is also unique because it is a sustainable membrane made without any harmful solvents.

DWR (Durable water repellent)

DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is a finish that is applied to waterproof and water resistant fabrics. It lowers the surface tension of the face-fabric allowing water and snow that land on the face to roll off and not penetrate the fabric so easily, this is the first defence to stay dry.

PFC Free DWR

Durable water repellent (DWR) treatment which is PFC-free. Traditional C6 DWR treatments have PFCs (Perforated Fluorocarbons), these are very volatile particles that are hormone disruptive and bioaccumulating. Therefore our DWR treatment has been updated to a more environmentally and human friendly alternative which does not contain PFCs. A PFC-free DWR has a few different charectaristics compared to PFC-DWR; it is only water repellent and to keep the best performance of the DWR it needs to be reactivated more often, which is done by heat - iron on 1-dot or steamer. The DWR treatment lasts about 20 washes then it needs to be reapplied.
