Technologies
BD.dry™ 3L: Waterproof. Breathability. Durability. Stretch. BD.dry™ 3L face fabrics are treated with a DWR and these fabrics have a hydrophilic membrane that allows water vapour to transfer through, making them waterproof, yet breathable. Applied to the backside of this fabric is a third layer, jersey backer, that feels comfortable next to the skin and allows moisture to turn to vapour before passing through the hydrophilic membrane. BD.dry™ 3L Waterproof rating: 20,000 mm; Breathability rating:20,000 g/m2/24hr.
Empel DWR by GTT: PFC-Free, extremely durable, with unparalleled performance, GTT Empel uses a patented process to permanently hyper-fuse the water protective finish directly to the individual fibres of the fabric, offering unmatched super-hydrophobic properties, while maintaining optimal breathability.
