Note
Schoeller® C_change™ membrane:
It reacts to the different temperatures and activities. As soon as greater moisture is produced as a result of a higher prevailing temperature or greater body heat, the membrane structure opens and allows excess heat and water vapour to escape to the outside air. As soon as the body produces less heat energy, and consequently less moisture, the membrane structure contracts again.
Schoeller®-WB-formula fabric:
Elastic materials laminated to polyurethane membrane technology utilising breathable lamination systems available in either two-layer or three-layer construction. Properties include: permanent elasticity, wind and waterproof, breathable, moisture vapour permeable, lightweight.
