126 127 The right clothing for any type of weather. Thanks to the very latest and state-of-the-art materials. AirTex The sturdy net-like Dynafil material possesses a structure that promotes pleasant and effective air circulation, even at high temperatures and without abrasionresistance suffering as a result. It feels almost as if you are wearing a t-shirt alone but with the increased safety of a motorcycle jacket. Ideal for hot days. Waterproofed leather This extremely robust cowhide offers softness and natural breathing action of leather, with the additional unusual property of repelling water. As a result of a sophisticated impregnation process, it absorbs only 10 of the amount of moisture than in the case of untreated leathers. It remains supple, retains its active breathing property and dries off quickly. GORE-TEX XCR The GORE-TEX XCR laminate (XCR stands for Extended Comfort Range) features 25 improved breathability compared to conventional 3-layer laminates while remaining durably wind- and waterproof. GORE-TEX XCR keeps out the cold and ensures a pleasant body climate even in extremely hot conditions. TFL Cool System The TFL Cool System on leather and textiles ensures that the upper material heats up considerably less than without TFL Cool. The suns wavelengths, which are not visible to the human eye, are reflected similar to the reflection from light colors. This means that the upper surface of the Cool leather fabric wear remains considerably cooler than in conventional material both on the inside and outside. GORE-TEX A legend. The pioneer among airpermeable functional materials and still very much the standard when it comes to blocking out water while allowing air to escape. The result you are comfortably dry, all the time. GORE-TEX is of course also absolutely windproof. Venturi A membrane tested extensively outdoors with active breathing properties and providing reliable rain protection. Not even the wind has any chance of penetrating this membrane. It keeps the body warm and is pleasantly light and comfortable to wear. schoeller -PCM This phase change material has been borrowed from space research. It is able to retain heat by means of special paraffin capsules, and releases the heat as required in a controlled manner. The capsules absorb heat during hot periods and release it when the temperature drops, providing a perfect balance against temperature variations. The result is that you feel extremely comfortable whatever the conditions. Ideal for use in the temperature range 40 F to 75 F. x-static This permanent combination of silver and polyester fibers cannot be washed out or worn out. The material is anti-micro biotic, temperature compensating and effectively removes moisture. A B C D E F G H A B C D E F G H
