A “sweaty” head is now a thing of the past due to the revolutionary helmet technology SOFTCORE by the Sympatex partner Head Protection. For the first time, the new models Alpha and Adore are equipped with the innovative technology Sympatex High2Out. Sweat is removed quickly and effectively from the head, so the wearer of the helmet remains warm and comfortable under any weather conditions.
The Aletsch Jacket and Pants by the Sympatex partner VAUDE have been successful for three seasons already. The highly functional 3-layer alpine combination is very convincing thanks to the 100% waterproof and windproof Sympatex membrane with optimal breathability and excellent performance values.
In addition to offering a top performance, it also helps the environment: The 100% recyclable “guaranteed green” Sympatex membrane is PTFE-free as well as PFCfree, and it meets the strict environmental standards of bluesign.
With the new model Dan Brisse, the Sympatex partner Deeluxe offers a snowboard boot with a 100% waterproof liner with optimal breathability. This becomes possible by the innovative technology of Moisture-tech by Sympatex. The moisture in the liner is quickly transported away from the foot to the outer boot. The lining dries fast, so there is no uncomfortable moisture inside the boot, which reduces odour and the possibility of getting blisters.
The hands also need protection: The new glove model Cruiser Function Glove by the Sympatex partner Glance is ideal for the piste. The high-quality and durable product protects the skin from snow and ice due to the 100% waterproof and windproof as well as optimal breathable Sympatex membrane.
“As an ingredient brand and ecological alternative, we have certain responsibilities. It is essential for us to create ecologically sustainable products”, explains Michael Kamm, CEO of Sympatex Technology GmbH.
“The recent Greenpeace study ‘Chemistry For Any Weather – Part II’ has showed us again that we have chosen the right way with our ecological approach. In the current study, the tested Sympatex laminate has received the best test results by far among the 17 tested outdoor clothing products”, he adds.
For this reason, Sympatex keeps working on the development of ecologically compatible laminates and technologies. There is an increasing focus on recycled and recyclable materials (yarns/outer fabrics). For snow sports customers, for example, Sympatex will expand the 4-way-stretch sector. Regarding gloves, the development is now often based on the Sympatex technology Reflexion with a partial reflection of the body heat due to a vaporised aluminium coating.
New partners who believe in the ecological direction and who choose that way together with Sympatex are Sherpa Outdoor, Elkline, Zajo, Stadium, Kangaroos, Rockfall, amongst others.
