PERTEX® Y FUSE | Pertex® Y Fuse fabrics use yarns with unique Y-shaped filaments. These filaments create a closely interwoven structure, which improves the fabric's down-resistance and water-beading properties. This structure also means that Y Fuse fabrics remain very stable under prolonged wear and washing. |
FLASHDRY™ | The FlashDry™ fabric technology is designed to give the illusion of a second skin, bringing moisture to the surface of the fabric and removing it as quickly as possible to keep the user dry and cool and comfortable during particularly intense sporting activities. |
YKK® VISLON |
The Vislon® zip is made from injected plastic components. It is lighter than metal zips of the same size. Variations in the colour of the rich elements are created by formulating the colour pigment during the injection process. |
PRODOWN™ |
Trapping air and body heat in its high-filling down balls, this lightweight, compressible fabric offers exceptional warmth in cold weather. Contrary to popular belief, down is not the same as feathers. This type of insulation uses goose or duck down, the first soft feathers found under a bird's feathers. The fill power index of down gives two important indications: the warmth/weight ratio and the degree of compressibility. These two properties are crucial for heat retention and comfort. Down is more effective in dry weather and loses its performance in wet conditions. Machine drying revives the natural down. |
