Sympatex, the excellence of German technology
This waterproof fabric has more than one trick up its sleeve:
1/Unlike conventional membranes, this one has no pores.
The Sympatex membrane works with a combination of hydrophilic threads that will “pump” the water vapor emitted by your body and hydrophobic threads that will reject the water to the outside. All while preventing water and wind from penetrating, and thereforeby effectively protecting you from bad weather.
2/ We have also selected this material forits very high durability, since it has a score of more than 80,000 revolutions in the Martindale abrasion test, compared to less than 50,000 revolutions for a conventional membrane.
This is your guarantee ofa piece that you will love to wear for a long time, with a backpack if necessary.
3/ The cherry on the cake: Sympatex achieves all these feats while reducing its environmental impact as much as possible.
At Sympatex,all elements are recycled or recyclable, membrane and outer fabric included. As such, this fabric is OEKO-TEX certified and the membrane is Bluesign certified. And that's not all!Sympatex is also a carbon neutral and completely PFC free company.(“PFC free”) for its water-repellent treatments.
