QUICKDRY®
QUICKDRY® fabrics wick moisture away from the surface of garments, facilitating evaporation through air circulation. This technology is a treatment at the heart of the fibers and can also rely on open fabric construction. You'll stay dry even in extreme weather conditions and during intense physical activity.

PFC FREE
Our waterproof-breathable jackets do not contain PFC chemicals, which are harmful to the environment.
Our Durable Water Repellency (DWR) finish is based on a sustainable perfluorocarbon-free (PFC FREE) technology that we use on all our waterproof products. This technology causes water to bead up and run off the surface of the garment instead of soaking it. -
REFLECTIVE
Our retroreflective prints ensure your visibility and safety at night or in low-light conditions. The retroreflective effect occurs when the print is struck by light, creating a powerful, visible reflection.
-
POLARTEC®
POLARTEC® POWERDRY® fabrics have a hydrophilic interior to draw moisture away from the skin and transfer it to the outer layer. The outer surface then disperses and releases 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 fibre partially extracted from corn. As well as being breathable and easy to clean, it retains its volume wash after wash. It is an effective alternative to animal fillings thanks to its high insulating power against the cold.
