The more active a user, the more he usually sweats...

Care should be taken as to clothing worn beneath breathable shells : high quality base layers or insulated mid-layers should in themselves draw vapor from the body and pass it outwards, thus allowing the outer fabric to do a better job.

Breathability at the fabric level is nothing without a dry outer shell that makes water bead off day after day, durably preventing water from soaking into the layer. In this case, moisture transfer rate will be affected by the external humidity in the environnement and the convection effect on the outer shell (typically the outside airflow).

advantex™ technology will protect and deliver long lasting breathability day after day, not just when you purchase it! This is with this idea in mind, looking at a different angle, that advantex™ technology was created.

Insulation is a basic feature for mountain wears, as it is important for cold weather, where these garments are used. Insulation performance will act to protect you against cold temperature. You can really count on advantex™ during several seasons to keep you warm! In fact, the products developed by advantex™ use ultra high quality fleece, with a durable insulation even after many laundry cycles.

Weather resistance is a standard in mountains wear and advantex™ development has brought superior comfort to the wearer. advantex™ fabrics feature superior stretch composites to enable the widest but precise movements. Its sensorial aspect is also appreciable, thanks to a soft hand and a significant noise reduction compared to conventional materials.

The speed at which a fabric dries up is inversely proportional to its outside water absorption and wicking effect through the fabric. So the less wet a fabric is, the quicker it will dry up. We felt the best way to dry quickly (and let the fabric breathe) was to make sure it would never get wet!! Every single fiber is grafted and cannot absorb any water! Moreover the whole system stays light!
