FABRIC TECHNOLOGY
We use a range of different fabrics for our clothing, from tough and durable fabrics to handle the worst of the weather, to very lightweight and flexible fabrics ideal for use for a range of high-impact activities.
WATERPROOF FABRICS
System Dual Protection
System Dual Protection, our unique double layer fabric system, is extensively used in specialist military applications. The tough, durable outer layer ensures it can handle wear and tear while a lightweight inner layer offers comfort and creates the ‘Air Gap’ to build up warmth. Waterproof, breathable and warm, SDP reduces inner condensation to keep the wearer protected.
INNOVATION SERIES
Our innovation series has been developed to be the last word in high end waterproof/breathable performance fabric.
RAINLIFE 2000, 5000
A lightweight outer layer designed for all-weather resilience. Engineered for optimal waterproofing and breathability, it keeps you dry and comfortable, letting you stay focused and in the elements—whatever conditions come your way.
AQUAFLEX
Aquaflex is a moderately lightweight 3-layer waterproof fabric which is also breathable – with Aquaflex Extreme combining these properties with a more robust and durable finish for the perfect outdoor fabric.
FLYLITE SERIES
The Flylite fabric range has been developed to protect against the elements while adding minimal weight. These ultralight fabrics are tough, wicking, wind and water resistant with great strength to weight ratio. Flylite Ripstop is ideal where something a little more durable is needed. With Ripstop construction this 100% nylon fabric is hard wearing, even in the harshest terrain.
PROSTRETCH
Gives you freedom of movement, so it’s perfect for high-impact sports.
It’s a waterproof, windproof and breathable fabric that offers four-way stretch.
