Waterproof Breathables
[ Home ]
Above: Shannon sporting an anorak made from one of our many waterproof
breathable fabrics.
Note: There is often confusion concerning the terms used for coated
fabrics. When we speak of "layers" in waterproof breathables we are talking
about the total fabric. Two-layer XALT, for instance, is composed
of a top layer (usually Supplex®) and a waterproof/ breathable layer.
A three-layer fabric would have an added tricot or mesh on the inside to protect
the waterproof/breathable layer. When we say a fabric is 2-ply or 3-ply we are
referring to the yarn only. 3-ply Supplex is a heavier, more durable
fabric than 2-ply Supplex® because the yarns are beefier.
