“THE COMFORT-PLUS ASPECT OF TEXAPORE AIR IS THE FACT<br />
THAT AIR CAN PASS THROUGH THE SHELL FABRIC. THIS PRO-<br />
DUCES A NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT IN CLIMATE COMFORT.“<br />
Daniele Grasso, Senior Product Manager Apparel<br />
The solution is in the air! The basic concept<br />
behind the development of the air perme able<br />
weather protection fabric, TEXAPORE AIR, was<br />
the following:<br />
No matter how breathable a weather protection<br />
fabric is, the best ventilation is often<br />
achieved by unzipping the jacket or opening<br />
the venting zips. The big question was, how<br />
could we integrate this level of ventilation<br />
performance into the fabric itself while still<br />
making it reliably waterproof and windproof?<br />
Thinking outside the box provided the solution.<br />
We noticed, for example, that a thatched<br />
roof provides a weatherproof seal and effective<br />
ventilation at the same time, and that<br />
there are filters that keep water out yet allow<br />
air to pass through. Our TEXAPORE AIR technology<br />
works on the same principle.<br />
TEXAPORE AIR exhibits the essential waterproof<br />
and windproof performance of a<br />
weather protection fabric but is also air permeable.<br />
This allows constant air exchange to<br />
occur through the fabric itself, so the process<br />
works even when the jacket is zipped up.<br />
This produces a noticeable improvement in<br />
climate comfort. The air flow not only has a<br />
basic cooling effect but also increases the<br />
breathability by supporting the moisture<br />
vapour transmission through the fabric. The<br />
more you move, the more air is exchanged<br />
and the more breathable the fabric becomes.<br />
The fabric is “dynamically breathable”.<br />
