Foundations of Fabric Tech
Featured
We use Durable Water Repellants (DWR) in many of our core fabric platforms (Kinetic, Doppler and Momentum) to give them the ability to repel water and stay dry in the rain.
We’ve just launched our latest edition of the Composite fabric which now features 45% recycled polyester blended with merino wool - it’s the evolution of our next-to-skin fabrics.
We use a variety of waterproof / breathable membranes in our outerwear, and they commonly have a rating associated with them often listed in the form of mmH2O and mLH2O/m2/24hr - here’s what the mean.
Viscose is an exciting yarn, one which when blended is becoming a pillar of our Scientifically Natural approach to products - and it itself is a blend of science and nature.
Polyester has evolved significantly, through manufacturing techniques and material design to create fabrics that are easy to take care of, manage moisture, and are quite durable.
These are the washing instructions that we design almost all of our garments to meet. Here’s the science of how washing clothes work, and the best way to get pesky stains out.
Bio-based polyester is a new alternative to petroleum-derived polyester, and becomes a power means of carbon sequestration that is translated into wearable fabrics.
Carbon dioxide, waterless dyeing circumvents the need for large amount of water use, boiling or filtration - but it requires some complex machinery. Fortunately, we’ve partnered with Singtex, a leader in clean dyeing procedures for performance fabrics and have been able to use this process in our Mercury, Dry Days and Responsive fabrics.
The science behind engineering breathability, and the heart of moving heat and moisture.
When we think about bringing newness to our product line, we use a variety of different approaches from introducing new silhouettes, new fabric platforms but also color.
