Layer 4 - Outershell

GORE-TEX® fabrics lead the industry of technical clothing in the provision of waterproof protection, breathability and durability.

The GORE-TEX® membrane is completely water, sleet and at the same time allows for perspiration to pass through it: it is formed by pores which are 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor and therefore, water can’t get in, but perspiration can get out. Its durability has been tested and asserted reproducing the most extreme weather conditions in laboratories.

Powertex

Powertex fabric is highly breathable, windand-waterproof, water repellent and durable; it is also light, soft and has a comfortable feel for the wearer, and with all these features, offers an excellent price/quality ratio. During aerobic activities, the Powertex membrane draws away from the body the moisture that is generated and evacuates it, distributing it on the fabric surface, reducing internal condensation and making the speed of the evaporation a lot faster; at the same time it prevents outside water to penetrate, therefore keeping the wearer warm, dry and comfortable. Powertex fabrics are available in two, two and a half, and three layers
