2-Layer infiDRY® Stretch Fabric with DWR
–
686 2-Layer infiDRY® fabric is perfect for daily use in a wide range of conditions. Specialty fabrics are laminated and bonded to a Polyurethane (PU) infiDRY® membrane on the underside of the fabric. For further protection, the laminated fabric is then applied on the exterior with a water resistant C6 environmentally friendly DWR finish to repel snow and water from penetrating the fabric. This creates a superior fabric with a one-way portal for moisture that is virtually impenetrable from the outside, yet allows your body’s sweat to evaporate and pass through the fabric from the inside out creating a more comfortable experience.

Waterproof & Breathable Membrane

infiDRY® 10K | 10K Waterproof / 10K Breathable
–
This membrane blocks water, snow and wind from entering your garment, and is hydrophilic on the inside – attracting any moisture inside your jacket (sweat) and moving it through to the outside of the fabric where it is able to evaporate, thus keeping you both dry and warm.

Insulation

infiLOFT® Insulation | 80g Body / 60g Sleeves / 40g Hood
–
Circular-like filament groupings individually retain heat while having a very soft hand feel. The synthetic fibers have high moisture resistance, high warmth, and excellent loft. A great all around affordable insulation.
