The concept on which it is based Windstopper is the body's microclimate staff. The whole body is in fact surrounded by a thin layer of air, in the first 1-2cm in contact with the skin, whose ideal temperature, for a constant comfort, is about 32 ° and 30% humidity.
The Windstopper fabric keeps this heat naturally produced by the body, without adding another, and is therefore suitable for those warm, sunny days when even little padding could be eccessiva.Ogni inch of Windstopper membrane contains over 1.4 billion micropores and this is the basis of the functioning of the tissue. The micropores of the membrane which is composed in fact guarantee the breathability, sweat is expelled through the fabric, while the cold wind remains imprigionato.All'' internal structure of the ePTFE is also a hydrophobic substance capable of keeping the ' 'external moisture away from our pelle.Questa structure is characterized, among other things'', to be ultra-thin, ultra-light and ultra-resistant to extreme temperatures.
Let us remember, the laminate does not create heat, it protects from the wind. The wind protection is fundamental in outdoor activities. It is estimated that in just two minutes, a wind blowing at 30 km / h will ensure that an outside temperature of 6 ° C is perceived as -5 ° C. With only the Windstopper membrane so that's 100% windproof, you can retain the heat necessary to produce permeable than the wind.
Moreover, it must be remembered, the Windstopper membrane is a real physical barrier that is interposed between the outside and the inside of the garment, making the same not only waterproof but also water to the wind. The laminate permanently unable to oppose all'' input'' s water up to a pressure of 0.1 bar, thus providing protection in conditions of snow or light rain, even after numerous washings.
