Snugpak Fabric

 

What it is : Lightweight Nylon Fabric

How it works : Finely constructed from fine filament yarns (34 strands per bundle 10,000 metres of each bundle weighing only 54 grammes) each filament 10 times finer than a human hair. the gaps between the fibres cause the moisture to wick across a larger surface area allowing it to evaporate more readily. as the perspiration is evaporating from within the fabric the user is not cooled.

Ideal as a sleeping bag lining or as a casing fabric for lightweight low packsize insulated clothing.

• Lightweight

• Tough

• Highly Breathable (will transmit 12 litres of moisture per m2 per 24 hours)

• Wicking

• Soft to the touch

• Wind proof to the industry standard of 3 cubic feet per minute

• Water Repellent a British Standard Spray Rating of 4 Minimum

 
 

What it is: 100% waterproof fabric (Hydrophillic Polyurethane Coating)

How it works: Closely constructed fabric with a ripstop construction.

Teamed with a Hydrophillic Polyurethane (PU) which transfers water vapour chemically from the inside to the outside (due to the temperature differential between the inside of the product and out)

100% Waterproof with a Hydro Static Head in Excess of 5000mm (Items with a Hydrostatic Head over 1500mm are generally considered waterproof)

• Only ever used in fully taped seamed systems
• Ripstop Weave
• Lightweight
• Tough
• Breathable (will transmit up to 7.5 litres of moisture per m2 per 24 hours)
• Soft to touch
• Completely Windproof (trapping and stopping the movement of warm air in the sleeping bag or Garment)
• Outer Fabric treated with a Durable Water Repellant. (water repellency can be maintained by a cool tumble dry after   ; washing and periodic retreatment with suitable after care products such as Nikwax or Grangers)
• Completely manufactured within Europe (Extruded, Woven and Dyed & Finished)
 

What it is: Product range of ripstop fabrics with superior water repellency.

How it works: Closely constructed fabric with a ripstop construction. Tough when it matters but soft to the touch. Specially treated to maximise water repellency.

• Wicking
• Soft to touch
• Wind proof to the industry standard of 3 cubic feet per minute (this keeps strong winds out or when used as a lining   warm air and loft in).

What it is: Medium Weight

How it works: Finely constructed from fine filament yarns to a higher finished weight than Paratex light, for use in more robust garments. The gaps between the fibres cause the moisture to wick across a larger surface area allowing it to evaporate more readily, as the perspiration is evaporating from within the fabric the user is not cooled.

Where it is used : As an outer for activity clothing, particularly suitable for use with Pile.
