Our technologies

High-performance trail gear, with no compromises for the planet

Discover all the textile technologies and technical materials that make Raidlight equipment unique.

From UPF40+ sun protection to MP+ waterproof-breathable membranes, including our PFC Free fabrics, each innovation is designed to support you in the most demanding conditions — with lightness, skillfulness, and durability.

  • MP+® Membrane

    The MP+® membrane combines high waterproofing, optimal breathability, and reliable protection against wind and cold. Designed without PFAS, it ensures performance, comfort, and durability, even in extreme conditions.

  • FREELOCK

    The FREELOCK system is a micrometric buckle that allows the adjustment and fitting of sizes. This technology is widely used on our hydration packs and vests to enable a balanced, precise, and quick fit to each person's body.

  • WATERPROOF RIPSTOP

    Ripstop is a durable and tear-resistant fabric thanks to its specific and very tight weave.
    The addition of a polyurethane coating on the back of the Ripstop protects your belongings from moisture.
    The WATERPROOF RIPSTOP fabrics are highly popular in our collection of bags and carrying accessories.

  • 3D MESH

    MESH 3D are highly breathable three-dimensional synthetic fabrics. Their 3D structures are created thanks to intermediate microfibers that keep the upper and lower surfaces of these fabrics apart. Offering excellent air circulation, good cushioning, and tear resistance, they are perfect for our hydratation packs and carrying accessories.

  • LAZERDRY

    The LazerDry technology is based on precision laser cutting, which allows creating pieces without unnecessary seams. This method reduces the product's weight, improves comfort, and prevents chafing. It also enables adding laser-cut ventilation zones, directly integrated into the fabric, for better breathability.

  • Hublot watch

    All our waterproof jackets feature a "WATCH WINDOW" on the left sleeve. It's a transparent, touch-sensitive, seamless watch window made from low-density thermoplastic. This window guarantees you quick access to your watch even in tough weather conditions.

  • QUICKDRY®

    QUICKDRY® fabrics wick moisture to the surface of the clothing by promoting evaporation through air circulation. This technology is a treatment at the core of the fibers and can also rely on an open fabric construction. You'll stay dry even in extreme weather conditions and during intense physical activities.

  • DRYLIGHT®

    Specially developed with 100% very lightweight polyester fibers, the DryLight® stretch fabric also benefits from a QuickDry® treatment; it thus ensures good sweat wicking and quick drying, essential properties for your comfort.

  • UPF40+

    Our trail clothing with UPF40+ technology blocks up to 98% of UV rays (UVA and UVB), providing reliable and lasting sun protection. Designed for trail running in mountains, desert, or full exposure, this protection is integrated into the fabric without compromising breathability or comfort.

  • reflective

    Our retroreflective prints ensure your visibility and safety at night or in low-light conditions. The retroreflective effect occurs when the print is hit by light, creating a visible and powerful reflection.

  • ANTI-BACTERIAL

    Antibacterial fabrics reduce the risk of bad odors by preventing bacteria from multiplying. This technology is applied by treating the fabrics at the end of their manufacturing process. The effectiveness of the treatment is guaranteed for 30 washes

  • RECYCLED 80%

    Defined as a strategic axis of CSR development, our collections are made mostly from pre-consumer recycled polyester or polyamide fabrics (from industrial scraps) or post-consumer (from marine waste or plastic bottles).

  • Thermofleece

    Our THERMOFLEECE collection consists of first or second layer clothing, warm and breathable. Often made from a stretchy fabric to increase freedom of movement and brushed on the inside for a soft and pleasant feel against the skin, they provide superior insulation in cold weather by trapping air within the fabric.

  • POLARTEC®

    POLARTEC® POWERDRY® fabrics are made with a hydrophilic interior to pull moisture away from the skin and transfer it to the outer layer. The outer surface then disperses and releases the moisture, reducing drying time. Continuous evaporation regulates temperature in both hot and cold weather.

  • DUPONT SORONA

    The SORONA® insulation developed by the American company Dupont is a synthetic fiber partially derived from corn. Besides being breathable and easy to clean, it retains its volume wash after wash. It is an effective alternative to animal-based filling thanks to its high insulating power against the cold.

  • PFC Free

    Since 2020, all our products have been designed without PFCs, those perfluorinated compounds used in water-repellent treatments but harmful to health and the environment.
    We made the choice to eliminate them completely from our range, while maintaining a high level of technical performance.

  • OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100

    A large part of our textiles are certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, a recognized label that guarantees the absence of harmful substances for health. This certification applies to many fabrics used in our gear and reflects our commitment to offering safer, more responsible trail products that respect your skin.

  • PFAS FREE

    At Raidlight, none of our products — neither clothing nor accessories — use PFAS, those polluting substances still found in many brands.
    From our waterproof breathable jackets to our soft flasks, our water-repellent technology is durable, with no compromise on performance or your health.
    A clear choice: to protect you, while respecting our playground.

  • Ultralight

    The ULTRALIGHT range consists of our lightest clothing, accessories, and hydration packs. This collection focuses on highly breathable technologies and fabrics, ultra-compact designs, and quick-drying materials.


  • Vibram

    World leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance rubber soles designed for outdoor activities. Trail shoes equipped with a VIBRAM® sole are highly abrasion-resistant and offer excellent grip on all types of terrain.

  • MATRYX

    MATRYX® is a French technical fabric that is very resistant and flexible, designed for shoe ranges to ensure exceptional durability. This fabric combines lightness, breathability, and toughness, while adapting to movements for optimal comfort.
