SANDS FUTUR JACKET

Softshell refers to an extensible, membraned, water-repellent, laminated fabric made of brushed fleece on the inside to provide warmth. The use of softshell material makes it possible to create comfortable high-tech garments that meet the objectives of wind resistance, breathability, warmth and impermeability.

Fusalp exclusive Perfortex Technology is a high-performance, waterproof, windproof and breathable microporous membrane. The water-repellent treatment protects against light rain, causing water to slide over the fabric, which can however sometimes penetrate through certain seams.

The Stretch Technology adds extensibility to the main clothing fabric thus offering maximum ease and comfort to the user. Stretch is obtained either by using elastane thread, or by a specific weaving process. This dual-stretch fabric provides multidirectional extensibility.

DuPont™ Sorona® is a biopolymer fibre with an unbeatable weight-warmth ratio thanks to advanced Dupont of Nemours technologies. Fusalp is committed to seeking innovative solutions that contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Its biodegradable bio-polyester formula, made from renewable organic materials, has the advantage over synthetic polymers derived from petrol of consuming 40% less energy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 63% as compared to a typical fibre. This fibre is elastic, soft, quick-drying, easy to maintain, resistant to chlorine and to stains and above all very warm.

During sewing, the passage of the needle through the fabric can create a potential vulnerability in the tightness of the membrane. Weld the seams then allows to secure our garment avoiding any risk of water intrusion by it. Only the main seams, equivalent to the parts most exposed to bad weather, are welded.
