OmniBloq’s Stormproof/Breathable capabilities represent an entirely new DWR category for the performance industry. Simply put, Stormproof/Breathable garments have been engineered to deflect heavy, wind-driven rain, yet are lightweight and allow perspiration to evaporate.
Stormproof/Breathable OmniBloq easily meets or surpasses AATCC Rain Test 35-2013 and is ideal for all forms of performance apparel and gear including ski wear, hiking clothes, outer wear, tents, backpacks, and more. Stormproof/Breathable fabrics treated with OmniBloq also get high marks on the industry’s rigorous Bundesmann water repellency test, maintaining the highest Bundesmann rating after 30-plus minutes of a treated fabric being exposed to the equivalent impact of full force rain.
In addition to being highly effective, Stormproof/Breathable OmniBloq does not compromise fabric hand, garment design, or wearer comfort. Applied at the factory, this technology is also bluesign-approved, and products treated with OmniBloq are not only highly durable when laundered, but more easily recycled than laminates. (GK)
