Sympatex to show Moisture-tech Apparel at ISPO 2016
December 15, 2015 - Germany
Sympatex, a leading global supplier of high-tech functional materials in clothing, footwear, accessories, and protective workwear, is set to present its new Moisture-tech Apparel at the sports expo, ISPO 2016, to be held from January 24 to 27, 2016, at hall A1, booth 418.
The Moisture-tech apparel comes with an innovative lining and three-layer laminate that provide an ideal moisture management during outdoor activities in any season. The company’s business area “Footwear” will also present “Climate Technology Seamless”. With the new outer fabric technology, the ecological alternative among functional
textile specialists can now offer laminated knitted shafts that can also be used in any season.
The new technology offers an optimal body climate for changes between high-demand activities and resting phases. The functional textile layer towards the skin follows the push-pull principle: The functional textile layer towards the skin follows the push-pull principle: Due to a vertical suction effect, moisture is quickly transported from the skin surface to the inner functional layer where it is stored temporarily and spread over a large surface, according to a press release.
In addition, the hydrophilic membrane is activated by the high moisture concentration and thus provides an increased water vapour transmission. The strong activation supports the dynamic breathability. The more the body sweats, the more moisture the membrane can transport outwards. Within the functional textile layer, moisture is only wicked to the outside. The suction effect towards the outside prevents the moisture from being transported back inside. Therefore, the skin remains comfortably dry.
Based on the highly functional outer fabric technology, with the Sympatex Climate Technology, the functional specialist can offer laminated knitted legs that are 100 per cent waterproof and windproof as well as optimally breathable due to the extremely flexible Sympatex membrane.
At the ISPO 2016, Sympatex will also introduce the first partner product of the bike wear specialist Protective. The Moisture-tech Apparel laminates have been chosen for the “Selection 2016” by the ISPO platform Textrends. (GK)
