Fabrics and materials

Gelanots® this membrane created in Japan quickly gained the trust of next-generation fabric enthusiasts around the world. In our collection we use several of its variants:

• 3-layer Ultralight (3U, 77g/m2) highly vapor permeable (56000g/m2/24h) and waterproof (20000mm/H2O), combining an outer ripstop layer with a "breathable" and waterproof membrane protected by a knitted layer

• 3-layer Stretch (3S, 100g/m2), with parameters similar to the 3U version, with the addition of elastic fibers

• 3-layer (3L, 100g/m2) with very high waterproofness (up to 20000mm/H2O) and vapor permeability (up to 20000g/m2/24h).

The result of using the Gelanots® membrane is effective moisture wicking away from the body, thus preventing it from condensing from the inside. Moreover, Gelanots® laminates do not use the micropore phenomenon, which means that their wind and waterproof as well as vapor permeable properties practically do not decrease due to long-term use.

Aquatex ™ – a group of different fabrics laminated with a microporous polyurethane membrane. This membrane combines two opposing properties; on one hand, the micropores contained in polyurethane are smaller than water particles, making Aquatex water- and windproof, while on the other hand they are significantly larger than water vapor molecules produced by the body during physical activity. This allows for effective moisture wicking away from the body and its evaporation to the environment. This phenomenon, commonly called fabric breathing, allows maintaining the body's natural microclimate by limiting the feeling of overheating and discomfort resulting from moisture retention between clothing and the body.

In our collection we use several of its variants:

Aquatex 10/10™ – 2-layer laminate with enhanced waterproofness and breathability parameters. The lightweight but very durable outer material has been combined with the Aquatex membrane ensuring waterproofness above 10,000mm/H2O and breathability at the level of 10,000g/m2/24h.

Aquatex L2C ™ – very lightweight material with a unique two-layer structure. The outer surface is made of lightweight RipStop fabric. The Aquatex membrane laminated with it, which constitutes a breathable and waterproof barrier, is covered with a special polymer coating that protects it from tearing and abrasion, replacing the mesh lining. The result of these properties is the extremely light weight of clothing made from Aquatex L2C.

Softshell 3LF – waterproof and excellently breathable soft fabric composed of 3 layers of materials, meeting the expectations of the most demanding users. The outer, elastic layer offers breathability and freedom of movement. The middle layer – Aquatex 10/10 – is a waterproof and breathable membrane. The inner layer consists of soft but durable fleece, which acts both as thermal insulation and as a layer that quickly transports moisture generated during physical exertion.

Softhshell 3LF Light – lighter version of SoftShell 3LF fabric

Softshell 2LF – two-layer laminate composed of outer, elastic fabric combined with an inner fleece layer. 2LF offers warmth, freedom of movement and wind protection without sacrificing breathability.

Softshell 2LHL – this is SoftShell 2LF finished with long-haired fleece (HighLoft) ensuring heat retention.

Primaloft® Sport is a combination of excellent thermal insulation with low weight. The fiber production technology combines ultra-thin and multidimensional fibers to achieve specific characteristics. Specially impregnated ultra-thin fibers create structures responsible for insulation, while their multidimensional counterparts create a thermoactive layer. PrimaLoft® is currently one of the best alternatives to natural down. Material created for NASA's needs.

Polartec® Thermal Pro® Recycled a group of knits composed of polyester fibers with excellent thermal insulation parameters. While retaining temperature, it simultaneously transports moisture outward. It is very soft and allows the skin to breathe naturally. This knit does not change its external appearance and is exceptionally resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage. Recycled polyester fibers were used in the production of the knit.

Polartec® 200 Classic is a universal, durable fleece knit with a weight of 200g/m2. Very warm, soft, breathable and quick-drying, resistant to repeated machine washing and pilling.

Polartec® 100 Micro is a lightweight, breathable and quick-drying knit with excellent thermal properties. The fibers are characterized by compact construction, durability and abrasion resistance, which means they retain their thermal properties even after long-term use. 100 Micro allows you to feel comfortable in any conditions.

Polartec® Delta™ knit created in such a way as to better utilize the body's natural cooling process: sweating. The side adjacent to the skin aims at moisture wicking and quick drying, keeps moisture moving, but does not work towards actual body cooling. Delta™ works more efficiently by reducing the contact surface with the body, increasing airflow, faster moisture distribution and reducing the feeling of stickiness after moistening.

NanoqPile is a fleece knit with very good thermal properties. It effectively wicks moisture, dries quickly and the unique structure of polyester microfibers enables even better breathability.

NanoqPile 1 – lightweight and very elastic material with characteristics suitable for producing first and second layer clothing. It breathes well and decently protects against heat loss.

NanoqPile 2 – medium thickness fleece knit with very good thermal properties. It effectively wicks moisture, dries quickly and the unique structure of polyester microfibers enables even better breathability. Version 2B has been additionally enriched with bamboo fibers.

NanoqPile WP – durable and lightweight material with excellent windproof parameters. Low weight with good thermal properties makes the material used for producing sportswear for physically active people.

Extendo – is an elastic fabric with a strong outer layer. The inner layer excellently wicks moisture to the surface of the garment. Made from a combination of polyamide and elastic fibers (92%/8%) Extendo is quick-drying, highly elastic, yet durable and lightweight, making it a first-class solution for producing trekking clothing versions: • Extendo ST: thicker and warmer version of Extendo fabric. Increased fiber density and warmer inner finish make this fabric particularly suitable for use in lower temperatures, providing better protection against wind and cold. Used for producing clothing for intensive use, e.g.: ski touring, climbing, etc. • Extendo WN: has a thicker, warmer finish on the inner side designed for use in cooler conditions. • Extendo LT: lighter and at the same time thinner version of Extendo material used for producing tourist pants intended for use in the spring-summer season. It provides greater thermal comfort at high temperatures while maintaining other characteristics of Extendo fabric, i.e., elasticity and durability. • Extendo CL: lightweight version of Extendo, implemented with climbing pants in mind.

Supplex® – is a fabric created by Invista company, combining the softness and structure of cotton with all the best features of nylon. It is resistant to abrasion and tears and is breathable. The thin nylon fibers used in production make it up to 30% softer than standard polyamide fabrics Stretch – is a more elastic version of Supplex with the same properties as the standard version.

Eclipse is a lightweight, anti-pilling fabric made from polyester fibers that excellently handles moisture, which it absorbs and wicks away from the body, transporting it to the next layers of clothing.
