Membranes

| As well as GORE-TEX® membranes, Mammut uses its own DRYtech™ laminates for its hard shells. Water resistance and breathability are the key properties of both these materials. Adverse weather conditions are no longer a barrier. | |
| GORE-TEX® | |
 |
Since 1978, the GORE-TEX® membranes produced by the company Gore®
have guaranteed 100% water resistance. Its experience and continuously
updated technologies and solutions make Gore® an important partner for
Mammut. Function The microporous Gore® membranes evacuate perspiration away from the body in the form of vapour. The membrane does not absorb water (hydrophobic). The advantage of GORE-TEX® is that it is breathable even in the initial stages of activity, when the body starts to perspire. |
| DRYtech™ | |
 |
Mammut ensures the very highest performance for its own laminate development,
called DRYtech™. Garments equipped with a DRYtech™ membrane offer complete
protection from water and wind while retaining their breathable properties
even in extreme situations. As well as being functional, DRYtech™ is
soft, light and very stretchable. These properties make it very comfortable
to wear. Function DRYtech™'s breathability is the result of the membrane's hydrophilic properties. The membrane absorbs and locks in perspiration (like a sponge). When it becomes full, the moisture is evacuated away from the body. 1st layer Ultra-thin, non-porous membrane for water-resistance and breathability. 2nd layer Adhesive layer, boosts endurance when perspiration and external moisture come together. 3rd layer Water-repellent base fabric that reinforces the garment's high performance. |
