Porelle® DRY is specifically developed to offer enhanced comfort in active apparel.
DRY PERFORMANCE
.
Porelle® DRY provides an enhanced level of dry comfort due to its inherent dry feel and natural water repellency. Keeping you dry and comfortable.
In addition, porelle® DRY:
Repels water droplets, even under high pressure, ensuring the wearer remains dry in extreme wet conditions
​
Breathes by allowing sweat in the form of water vapour molecules to directly migrate through the porous structure, ensuring a dry feel and enhanced comfort during activity
​
Has a repellent surface that offers a last line of defence against moisture ingress when the outer water repellent finish of the garment has failed, which is now a common problem with PFC-free DWR treatments.
​
COMFORT PERFORMANCE
​
When we are active, our bodies naturally sweat. This creates a microclimate within the garment as sweat in the form of water vapour molecules builds up in concentration. If the sweat becomes trapped inside the garment it condenses and forms a wet layer, leaving the wearer feeling damp and uncomfortable. In waterproof garments this is countered by using membranes that can breathe like our skin, allowing moisture to escape. However, the mechanism by which membranes breathe can also have an impact on the user’s comfort, especially during prolonged activity.
​
Porelle® DRY ensures the wearer remains comfortable. It breathes, instantly allowing the passage of water vapour molecules through interconnecting nanopores. Not swelling or retaining moisture like some other membranes. This maintains a dry feel when in use, offering optimum comfort performance for the wearer.
​
DURABLE PERFORMANCE
​
Porelle® DRY is produced using a novel coating process, providing a uniform structure that has been optimised to achieve the best balance of breathability and waterproofness. Ensuring consistent waterproof and physical properties in use, even after multiple washes.
During their life cycle, waterproof apparels are exposed to sunlight and moisture. The polymer chemistry of porelle® DRY is tailored to offer a resistance to UV and hydrolysis degradation, for a longer life in use.
