TECHNOLOGY:
Pertex® Quantum GL: This composition is the result of over 30 years of experience in fabric technology. It provides the best weight-to-resistance ratio of all Pertex® fabrics. It uses incredibly thin and precisely woven yarns to achieve a lightweight fabric (< 25 g/m²) without compromising on strength and durability. It guarantees a waterproof, water-repellent and windproof construction (1.0 cc max) that is soft to touch and offers optimal user comfort.
Polartec® Alpha®: Polartec® Alpha® was originally developed for the U.S. Special Forces when they required a more advanced insulating material in their combat uniforms. This fabric is a new technology with active insulation that regulates core body temperatures during both dynamic and static activities. This latest advancement in adaptable breathability helps eliminate the need of shedding or adding layers of clothing. Among many remarkable technical features, fast drying, warmth even when wet, lightness and compressibility are the most notable. |
COMPOSITION:
Ripstop: This synthetic fabric, often made from nylon or polyester, uses a special reinforcing technique that makes it tear and abrasion-resistant. During the weaving process, reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals into the hatched pattern. The intervals are generally 5 to 8 millimetres. Ripstop fabric is thin and light with thicker threads interwoven into thinner cloth for a 3-dimensional structure.
